The plan is to make gains _in the midterms_ that will break the political gridlock in the Senate. This requires two miracles. First, the Democrats must retain control of the House. That’s miracle one. Second, the Democrats must gain at least two Senate seats, so that 50 Senators are willing to weaken the filibuster and enact meaningful policy. That’s miracle two. There is no backup plan and none is possible.
