Which Presidential candidate could also bring a Senate majority for Dems with them?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by JudyM (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I’m asking because I don’t believe a New Democratic POTUS can make ANYTHING they promised in the campaign come to fruition without having House and Senate majorities to make them happen.

So for me, the most important question is which of our candidates has the best shot at making that a reality?

The Governors of Mass and Vermont are Republicans and would no doubt appoint Republicans to replace them.

You should delete it before the hosts lock it and repost it in "Democratic Primaries".
