Kamala Harris is running for president, stating that she will support a bill to legalise abortion in the US and override the decision of the supreme court. But why, if the democrats with Joe Biden are in power now, don’t they already do that?

The president doesn’t make or enact the laws. The president is not the big daddy (or mommy) CEO of America. As long as Rekucklicans are willing to get up and do a long talk – spoilers, they always will be – they can essentially force a bill into a 60 vote major to pass instead of a simple 50 (plus the VP) majority to pass.
Doesn’t help that there’s a senator whose dick is caught in mouse trap baited with a lump of coal.
Don’t take this the wrong way. Whenever I see this question I assume the asker is ignorant or willfully obscuring the facts with a leading question.
I just don’t have any idea how things work over there, and was genuinely wondering. Thanks for the explanation.
Fair enough.
