True. But it will be the narrowest of possible majorities.
The Republicans will find it easy to stay unified since they are in the minority. They will only need to peel off a single moderate Democrat to block a majority vote. And much will be filibustered.
It is better for the Democrats to have a narrow majority than a narrow minority, but it isn't like they are free and clear to impose their agenda to destroy America.
