At the moment US politics is so divided that most votes are taken straight down party lines. This has been seen regularly over the last couple of years with the SCOTUS votes and impeachment trial.

True but it does seem the Republicans are more zealous in their party lines rigidity.
Dems have historically broke party ranks more often. Don't count on them to back Biden as Republican senators have backed Trump.
The opportunity here is for the Dems to show what a working government looks like - passing actual bills and delivering meaningful change.
I'm betting very little will actually change though.

Yeah. This is huge. Looks like they've got it sewn up.
How does it work over there though? They have a majority of 1. We know the Dems aren't actually that left leaning, so is there still a real risk that their own senators will vote against more progressive policies, particularly those who only won because they weren't Trump, or are they expected to fall into line with relative ease?
