State Sen. Brown, who was previously seen as an underdog, has been reportedly gaining favor among Massachusetts voters. If he is elected, Republicans in the Senate would have a total of 41 votes, which would allow them to further challenge the Democratic majority’s legislative efforts, including healthcare reform.
Political analysts warn that a win by state Sen. Brown could put a wrench in Democratic healthcare reform efforts, but Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) vowed to “press ahead with the legislation,” regardless of the election’s outcome, according to the report.
