This will impact the Senate composition and lessen the power of rogue Republicans voting against Trump's nominees and policies.

In Trump's first term in 2016, the Democrat Party's control of the Senate, which approves all appointments, stalled many of Trump transition nominees, making his transitional administration weaker, by maintaining missing links. This strategy also made Trump accept faster Senate appointments, which turned out to add some DNC operatives, to spy and sabotage from the inside.

This time around, Trump is wiser of the Washington Ways, and now with control of the Senate, can set up his administration for business in record time. It would be funny if Trump also was able to appoint another Supreme Court Justice or two.

It's nice to see Pennsylvania regaining its senses.

Then as a science you will obviously have to adapt to the new information.
