Anita Dunn says control of the Senate "hugely consequential" for Biden agenda

Washington — Anita Dunn, a senior adviser to President Biden, said Sunday that Democrats' victory in the battle for control of the Senate in the midterm elections is "hugely consequential" for the success of Mr. Biden's agenda in his next two years in office.

"He believes that at the end of the day, there are going to be things that Republicans and Democrats can work on together as they did over the last two years," Dunn said in an interview with "Face the Nation," referring to the president. "Control of the Senate is hugely consequential both for judiciary nominations and appointments, the most diverse group of judicial nominations ever under the first two years of President Biden, but also for controlling the agenda in the U.S. Senate, and that means continued progress for the working families, middle class of this country."
