Democrats believe President Joe Biden’s agenda is “dangling by a thread” over concerns that any one of several elderly Democratic senators could die in office and temporarily hand the chamber over to the GOP.
Every Congress but two has had at least one member die while in office. With the average age of sitting senators at 64 and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the health of lawmakers has become a top priority for some Democrats who fear that a single death or serious illness could all but extinguish Biden’s shot at implementing a progressive overhaul of the United States, according to The New York Times.
