This is why J.D. Vance needs to exercise his power as President of the Senate and make Thune go sit at the kiddie table. It'll be tedious but it's the only way to break the back of the Uniparty.
Otherwise we're going to get a repeat of Paul Ryan backstabbing Trump in 2016 to protect the swamp.
Unfortunately he presides over the Senate, he's not the President of the Senate.
So he doesn't make the rules or determine sessions, just a tie-breaker. Which is good, but the establishment just whips up an extra vote so it's largely symbolic.
Beg to differ.
"but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided"
You're right, but the Senate rules make it an office with no power.
