Looks like we'll be holding on to our edge in the Senate, as Tim Johnson plans to return in a few months:
Johnson's illness and ensuing absence from the Senate have highlighted his party's tenuous one-seat advantage in the chamber. He has been recovering at a private rehabilitation facility since leaving George Washington University Hospital last month. Johnson's office has said his recovery is expected to take several months, though he has been doing some work from his bed.
And democracy breathes a sigh of relief. Get well soon, Senator!
