Why does it matter that Oregon Democrats kept supermajorities?

Oregon Democrats may be vulnerable to Republican walkouts, but they do still have the ability to direct the legislative agenda.

Oregon Democrats are poised to maintain their three-fifths supermajority in the state legislature, outnumbering Republicans 37-23 in the House and 18-12 in the Senate.

Democrats had hoped to secure a two-thirds supermajority — the amount of people that need to be present to vote on legislation — to prevent the Republican walkouts that have halted legislative business in recent years.
