The majority party — specifically its leadership (the Senate Majority Leader) — has the most power over what gets put on the Senate agenda and whether legislation is brought to a vote.
They control committee chairmanships, the floor schedule, and the procedural votes needed to advance bills. (Note: the Senate minority and rules like the filibuster can affect or slow passage, but overall agenda and final outcomes are driven by the majority.)
