"The legislative filibuster was a key part of the foundation beneath the Senate's last 50-50 power-sharing agreement in 2001."

"If this filibuster has now become so common in the Senate that we can't act — that we just sit their helpless — shame on us."

"Things are on hold. I've got a lot of things I want to do," the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin, told reporters on Thursday.

"If you listen to what he said at the rally."

There will now be a 50-50 split in the Senate, with Harris able to cast the tie breaking vote, giving Democrats control of the chamber.

"If this party is going to survive, we've got to realize that Donald Trump had a consequential presidency for conservatives."

McConnell said last year that if the Senate did split 50-50 along party lines, he assumed the chamber would embrace a similar arrangement to that of 2001.

"The mob was fed lies."

"I intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the Senate."

"Better than 50-50 chance."

"We cannot simply declare ourselves a national board of elections on steroids."

Until Friday's vote, Trump had been on track to be the first president since Lyndon Johnson with no vetoes overridden.

Schumer is pushing for a vote on $2,000 checks.

"I would predict that if you had a stand-alone vote on the $2,000 check, it's better than 50-50 it would pass.

"Deficit is an issue, I agree. But I think at this moment we gotta do the right thing for working families."

"We're going to stay smart. We're going to stay focused. And we're going to continue delivering on the needs for our nation."

"I really am very worried that if he plays a clever parliamentary game, it may look good inside the Senate, but it could cost us two Senate seats."

"$2000 ASAP!"

McConnell, the top Republican in the Senate, refused to cave to Trump's demands on the military bill.

"His leadership has prevented a government shutdown at a time when our nation could not have afforded one."
