Democrat Leader Rushed To Hospital - Senate In Jeopardy

Hey guys, welcome to Explain America. I'm your host, Carmine Sabia, and we have a big story

and kind of beat those social media algorithms. So we need your help with that. We do appreciate

it and thank you. Okay, so on Thursday, the Democrats got some really bad news. As you know

they have a 50-50 split in the Senate. The only thing that gives them a majority is the tie

breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris. With that being said, they need all 50 senators

to vote on a party line every single time to get legislation passed with Kamala Harris

being the deciding vote, provided they don't get any Republican support, which sometimes

it is Susan Collins or Mitt Romney or Lisa Murkowski. You kind of never know. But right now

they're down one because Senator Patrick Leahy, 82 years old, longest reigning senator in the

history of the United States, is in the hospital. He was hospitalized on Thursday and right now

doctors are saying it's just a precautionary measure. It actually brings up a very interesting

point because his seat is now going to become available in the upcoming election. Why? Because

last year, he announced that he was retiring from the Senate. I mean, the guy's been serving since

Moses had short pants, so it's probably time for him to get going. And it's a big, big seat. And

also, with the midterms coming up right now, we have a really good chance for the Republicans

to take back the Senate, and we're pretty much sure they're going to take back the House

Thing is, of course, we don't want to see them go down a vote because somebody gets sick or injured

or something horrible happens to them. So of course, we wish Senator Leahy the best. We're

praying for his speedy recovery, for his health, and for his family. But I think the Democrats

this is almost like a wake-up call to them. When you look at their leadership, you have a president

who's pushing 80. You have Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, at the age of 82. Schumer

is old. All of the people in their party leadership are old. And the thing is, Patrick

Leahy, he's the president pro tempore of the Senate. What that means is he's third in line

of succession to the presidency. So God forbid something happened to the president and the vice

president and the Speaker. I mean, these people are together a lot. He would become the president

of the United States. So his position is not just symbolic. It is an important position

And I think it speaks to the need of the Democrats to have new, younger leadership like the Republicans

have. They talk about Republicans being old, but you have Ron DeSantis, you have Ted Cruz

you have Rand Paul, you have Marco Rubio. You have so many young Republicans in the Senate

So I think people maybe focus on Leader McConnell, but they don't focus on a lot of the young talent

that's coming on in the Republican Party, whereas the Democrats look really old, really out of step

and really out of touch. Of course, as I said, we wish the Senator well, but this is why the

election is so big this year. So got to make sure you vote and you vote Republican on November 8th
