However, Democrats want to change the rule to pass their partisan legislation without help from the Republicans. The Senate Democrats currently only have a slim majority as the chamber is&nbsp;split evenly, 50-50, between the two sides. Still, the Democrats have Vice President Kamala Harris as a tie-breaker vote when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Lamb announced last year he would leave the House of Representatives to seek the Democrat nomination to run for the state\u2019s open Senate seat after&nbsp;Republican Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) announced he would be retiring.&nbsp;However, Lamb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2022\/jan\/4\/rep-conor-lamb-pa-senate-candidate-promises-vote-e\/\">reportedly<\/a> lacks a campaign war chest and is behind in the polls, unlike his Democrat opponent, Pennsylvania&nbsp;Lt.
