White House says Warnock’s win gives Biden ‘more ability to deliver’ on his agenda

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday said Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock’s re-election on Tuesday should help President Joe Biden’s agenda. Democrats will have a 51-49 Senate majority in the new year, up from holding just 50 seats currently. “What I would say … about what this means for moving forward, when it comes to the president’s legislative agenda, when it comes to Democrats’ legislative agenda, it’s that it gives us a little bit more breathing room, a little bit more ability to deliver for the American people,” Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing.
