The Senate late on Wednesday approved a power-sharing deal that lets Democrats control the committees.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) earlier announced that he and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had finally reached an agreement on a power-sharing resolution in the chamber with an even partisan split of 50–50 with Vice President Kamala Harris able to break ties.
