Repubs control Senate: Why is Schumer majority leader?
The republicans have 49 Senate seats.
There are 3 Independants.
So, that means 48 are Democrats.
This totals 100 seats.

Why is Chuck Schumer still majority leader if he is in the minority?

I understand the I's will likely vote with the dems, but that dosen't make them democrats. There are Rino's in the republican party who vote with the dems too, but that dosent make them democrats either.

What am I missing?

Republicans do not control the Senate. All the independents caucus with Democrats and Sienna has already said she intends to caucus with Democrats. Republicans barely control the House. Live in your pipe dream but it’s plain wrong

And Democrats have 51 seats to Republican’s 49. And they have the tie breaking vote with the VP Kamala so just no

Krysten Sinema left the democrat party. She is no longer a democrat. Just because she will caucus with them dosen't change the fact that she is NOT a democrat.

Schumer is a loyal servant to Israel, just like his GOP ilk.

If there are 51 democrats and 49 republicans and 3 Independants, that equals 103. There is NOT 103 Senators!

The 'independents' are Democrats. They don't vote Dem 100% of the time like the rest of them, but they do on everything that matters.

If the Independant's are Democrats then why did Krysten Sinema say she LEFT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY?

If a candidate runs as an Independant for president, are you saying they are actually still a democrat? Or still a republican? So, there is no such thing as Independant then?

So, then Chuck Schumer will no longer be the majority leader. That means Mitch McConnel will be majority leader in the new Senate in January.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Because those three independents caucus with Democrats and they voted for Schumer to be re-elected as Senate Leader, dumbshit.
