Bear in mind we’re at an odd time politically where the GOP controls the White House, the House and the Senate.
There is a very small window to essentially pass legislation unchecked and that hasn’t been easy with a 52-48 (with a tie breaker) majority in the Senate. We saw several failed attempts at repealing Obamacare.
What’s more that majority is about to shrink to 51-49.
My point here is the GOP currently has no time for anything bipartisan. That doesn’t mean they’ll address this of course. But it’s just not as important as the donor class agenda is right now.
Once Doug Jones is seated and we start to approach the midterms expect to see more unifying issues instead of, say, hugely unpopular tax bills for billionaires.
