Progressives push forward with legislative priorities despite filibuster threat By Grace Segers Biden s infrastructure plan lacks GOP support For the first time in over a decade, Democrats have what is known as a trifecta of power, with control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives. In theory, this would make it easier for Democrats to pass their legislative priorities, but their extremely narrow majorities in both houses of Congress may act as a stumbling block to accomplishing their goals. The House has already passed measures shoring up voting rights, enacting campaign finance reform, enshrining legal protections for LGBTQ Americans, raising the federal minimum wage, and implementing stronger background checks for firearm purchases. Progressives in Congress see the opportunity to enact lasting change but they are hampered by their narrow majorities and Senate rules.
