chuck schumer couldn't have a smaller majority. and that's why he had to struggle with what is normally the routine vote, the organizing resolution of the united states senate which assigned committee chairmanships and committee membership, mitch mcconnell was forced to drop his demand just in the last hour to that organizing resolution of the senate which in mitch mcconnell's version would have forbidden the democrats to change the filibuster rule in any way. that's what he had to drop. that demand. and he did drop it. meanwhile, the senate is slowly but surely confirming biden cabinet members. janet yellen was confirmed as secretary of the treasury today by a vote of 84-15. many of the republican presidential candidates voted against her, of course, including senators hawley, cruz, rand paul, mike lee, and today, the vice president of the united states had an official swearing in of the secretary of defense, lloyd austin. that's a historic picture in many ways. today, president biden was asked if he might give up on bipartisan co

chuck schumer -- mitch mcconnell is asking chuck schumer to do something that he will never do which is to guarantee that he won't abolish the filibuster. the entire democratic party is asking chuck schumer to eliminate the filibuster and mitch mcconnell is asking him to guarantee he won't do so. so that's just not going to happen. he is not going to agree to that. again, garrett is right, we are in completely unfamiliar territory here. we have no idea how this is going to end because neither side wants to blink. they could end up on some handshake agreement, that's the most likely scenario. >> and let's dip back in now because, actually, jake, senator mcconnell is talk being that now. let's listen. >> -- on many occasions. our current democratic colleagues used this liberally, liberally over the last several years when they were in the minority. more than two dozen signed a bipartisan letter in 2017 saying our republican majority should not break the rule by brute force. let me say that again. two dozen democrats signed a bipartisan letter in 2017 saying our republican majority shou

that's what chuck schumer said on the floor as well. while you continually hear joe biden talk about a bipartisan deal, while his team will try to reach a bipartisan deal, they are still trying to reach out to republicans getting them information about the $1.9 trillion proposal. i think reality is setting in, and the reason why democrats are in this position right now, and democrats in the white house, too, particularly the economic team, john, they look at the numbers. jobless claims over the course of the last several weeks, and they remember 2009. they remember their stimulus efforts in 2009 that they blame for the recession dragging on even longer than they should have. but they undershot, they didn't overshoot, they went too low. and they also remember the affordable care act that dragged on with no resolution on a bipartisan basis. that's driving the democrats' desire to move forward and move forward quickly. and while the president is still trying to reach some bipartisan agreement, the reality in capitol hill and the white hous

in this case, chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell. prior to the november elections, senate republicans spent a bulk of their time processing judicial nominees supported by democrats overwhelmingly and had a majority of republicans opposed to them. the rhetoric surrounding the nominations process does not match up with reality. i expect that process to continue to be fairly agreeable. you will have hot button controversial supreme court nominee seats and maybe an appellate seat every now and then. almost 80% of the judicial nominations, i expect to see cooperation. with regards to the filibuster and the nuclear option, chuck schumer is in a difficult spot. if you look at the rhetoric surrounding the georgia election on both sides, somehow it means the difference between lightness and dark between the republic falling into the ocean and not, the civil fact is that is not the case. the expectations are that because democrats have the majority they can do a whole lot of stuff that they, quite frankly, aren't going to be able to do because
