New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray Luján's office announced that the 49-year-old remained hospitalized after suffering a stroke and is expected to make a full recovery.
WASHINGTON — The Democrats’ fragile hold on the Senate majority became vividly apparent Wednesday with theof New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray Luján, who won't be back to work for at least four weeks, throwing President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court pick and lagging legislative agenda in doubt.
“All of us are rooting for him every step of the way — between now and the day he makes his return to the Senate,” Schumer said Wednesday. The Senate is split 50-50, with Democrats holding an ever-so-fragile majority because Vice President Kamala Harris can cast a tie-breaking vote. “We always knew a 50/50 Senate was going to require patience as well as cooperation and we hope he’s back soon,” said Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the chairman of the Finance Committee, said, “Everybody in the Senate can count so we all know what votes mean."
