Anybody taken roll yet? How many Senators does each side have available for vote?

Any chance the lame duck cant get anything through due to there not being enough alive republicans to outvote the Dems?

We know they're down at least two, any others? How many do we have physically able to vote.

I think the Devil is starting to call his ghouls home now, cashing in his chips.

When the Senate last was in session, Bennett was absent quite a bit because he was campaigning back in Colorado but presumably he'll be back. Fetterman remains a wild card as does, on certain issues, Paul.
