1) his role in passing an immediate COVID bill
(personally, I favor passing a bill that focuses only on distribution of the vaccine, while they spend some time on the stimulus)
2) how fast to act on Biden's appointments
(he could push them through, or force Biden to put Acting folks in charge)
3) how to vote on impeachment
(presumably, he has the influence to assure conviction or to assure acquittal)
(conviction would be a huge plus for McConnell, reducing the power of the Trumpers)
4) how much to cooperate with Biden on critical legislation
(he can control whether almost any bills get the required 60 votes)
