If she wins in November, Vice President Kamala Harris may face a hostile, Republican-controlled Senate in no mood to confirm the senior Cabinet officials she’ll need to run her administration.
Anticipating that scenario, Harris’ team is exploring whether to keep in place some of the Biden administration officials who’ve already been confirmed by the Senate and wouldn’t need to face the gauntlet again, four people familiar with her transition planning said.

So when Trump wins the Republicans accept that he can push through whatever he (read: the heritage foundation) wants, it’s a big part of project 2025.If Democrats win they play by the system that exists, which is: we want something, Republicans say “go fucking die you communist piece of shit” and nothing happens because we don’t have a majority. If we end up with a 50/50 split then Joe Manchild and Self-centered Scinema say “go fucking die you communist piece of shit” and nothing happens because we don’t have a supermajority and they refuse to help kill the filibuster because they’re paid to be Republicans in the Democratic party. This is why the only thing we’ve accomplished through Congress in the last like 20 fucking years is a goddamn Republican healthcare system (Obamacare is Romneycare) because we had enough of a majority for something like 3 months…
