En el Senado, los republicanos tuvieron una breve mayoría al principio; sin embargo, el 20 de enero de 2021, tres nuevos senadores demócratas ( Jon Ossoff y Raphael Warnock, de Georgia, y Alex Padilla , de California) prestaron juramento, lo que dio como resultado 50 escaños en manos de republicanos, 48 en manos de demócratas y dos en manos de independientes que forman parte de los demócratas. En la práctica, esto creó una división 50-50, algo que no se había producido desde el 107.º Congreso en 2001. Esta fue solo la tercera vez en la historia de Estados Unidos que el Senado había estado dividido de manera uniforme, y la más duradera de la historia. [1] [2]
Los nuevos senadores fueron juramentados por la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris , apenas horas después de su toma de posesión . Con Harris sirviendo como desempate en su papel constitucional como presidenta del Senado, los demócratas obtuvieron el control del Senado y, por lo tanto, el control total del Congreso por primera vez desde que terminó el 111.º Congreso en 2011. Además, con la toma de posesión de Joe Biden como presidente ese mismo día, los demócratas también asumieron el control del poder ejecutivo, logrando una trifecta general del gobierno federal , también por primera vez desde el 111.º Congreso.

Senate committees
Prior to the passing of an organizing resolution on February 3, 2021, chairs of Senate committees remained the same as in the 116th Congress. Where the chair had retired (as in the Agriculture, Budget, and HELP committees), the chair was vacant.[97]
^ a b c dThe Congress began with 51 Republicans, 48 Democrats (including 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats) and 1 vacancy in the Senate. Georgia's class 2 seat was vacant from the start until Democrat Jon Ossoff was seated January 20, 2021.
Georgia's class 3 Republican interim appointee Kelly Loeffler served until Democrat Raphael Warnock was seated also on January 20.[27]
^ a b cIn California: Kamala Harris (D) resigned January 18, 2021, to become U.S. Vice President. Alex Padilla (D) was appointed to complete the unexpired term and began serving January 20.[28]
^In Georgia: Kelly Loeffler (R) lost a special election to finish the term. Jon Ossoff (D) and Raphael Warnock (D) began their service January 20, 2021.[29][30]
^Kamala Harris (D) became U.S. Vice President January 20, 2021, with the tie-breaking vote. The Senate elected Patrick Leahy to serve as President pro tempore also began on January 20.
^ a bIn Arizona: Kyrsten Sinema declared that she left the Democratic Party to become an independent politician on December 9, 2022.[19] She was still recognized as a Democrat by the Senate throughout the Congress, and did not formally switch her affiliation until the beginning of the 118th Congress.[31]
^Miller-Meeks was provisionally seated with the rest of the 117th Congress, pending the challenge by her opponent Rita Hart.[79] Hart withdrew her challenge on March 31, 2021.[80]
^ a b When seated or oath administered, not necessarily when service began.
^Wild was named chair when Ted Deutch resigned from office on September 30, 2022.
^Guest was named ranking member when Jackie Walorski died in office on August 3, 2022.[98]
^The Joint Taxation Committee leadership rotate the chair and vice chair and the ranking members between the House and Senate at the start of each session in the middle of the congressional term. The first session leadership is shown here.
