Remember the Democratic victory in the US Congress?

The balance might tip against the Democrats:

Johnson was taken by ambulance to George Washington University Hospital in Washington yesterday afternoon after becoming disoriented during a conference call with reporters.

Control of the new U.S. Senate may depend on Johnson’s health after Democrats won a 51-49 majority in the Nov. 7 midterm elections. If Johnson’s seat were to become vacant, South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds, a Republican, may appoint a Republican replacement.

All the best, senator.
