The predicted and muchly ballyhooed “mid-term red wave” turned out to be nothing more and a few extra splashes in a bathtub!!!
As of 10:00 PM EST, Satruday, Nov 12, Democrats now control the US Senate 50-49 and with a victory by Senator Warnock in Georgia on Dec 6, the margin will be D-51, R-49.
Meanwhile, the House is still in play with Democrats needing 14 seats to retain control, Republicans needing 7 seats to win.
So — what does this mean?
- Republicans will not be able to reverse the Biden legislative victories of the past two years.
- Inflation, gas prices, and the like will be back to normal by 2024, giving Democrats a huge boost in the Nov 2024 election.
- The Republican Party is in disarray — trashed at the polls, sniping and backstabbing, trying to rid themselves of the stink of Trump.
- If the House goes to the Republicans, they can pass all the bills of impeachment they wish, the moves will die quickly in the Senate.
The Republican Party tied itself to Donald Trump, not realizing that everything Trump touches DIES.
