Let's not forget the upcoming Georgia runoff. Though it may seem pointless, and Walker has been a less than ideal candidate, his win would result in a 50-50 tie, which is what we've got now. The big difference is that there's an increased chance of flipping Manchin, especially since he can't be happy with Schumer and Biden after they stabbed him in the back. He'd have to be promised the chair of Energy, of course, which means displacing Sen. Barrasso, which McConnell would have to engineer. If the Dems take the GA seat, however, then this scenario wouldn't be possible at all.
