A Caucus is when Independents and third parties rally under their banner. The DNC currently have 45 seats.

They had 50 under biden. But since they voted with republicans like you wanted them to, you're lying for them.

They had 48 democrats, and two independents who caucus with democrats.

From a functional standpoint that's 50. At least it is until just enough democrats turn quisling and vote like you want. Stop lying. Stop making excuses.
