Control of the Senate gives Democrats chance to act on judges, $2,000 checks and ambitious Biden agenda

After years shut out of power, Democrats are about to have a lot more room to maneuver in Washington.
-
With Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff on track Wednesday to oust their Republican rivals Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue from the Senate in runoff elections, the party is set to gain control of the upper chamber of Congress.
-
Alongside President-elect Joe Biden and a Democratic-controlled House of Representatives, the victories mean that Democrats will control both the White House and Congress for the first time since the first half of President Barack Obama’s first term.
