WASHINGTON, D.C. – Unless you live in places like Cerro Gordo county, this year’s “red wave” never materialized, as Trump-backed candidates across the nation were defeated time and again, and worse for MAGA’s, Brandon’s Democrats will hold the Senate and could still retain control of the House.
After it was announced that Senator Catherine Cortez Masto will win in Nevada, Democratic control over the Senate is assured for Joe Biden’s Democratic party. Joe Biden won the 2020 election over Donald Trump by several million votes, but some 2022 GOP candidates wanted you to believe the election was stolen. That likely cost many of them in the 2022 election, like Masto’s oppenent Adam Laxalt, who was an election denier. If pastor Raphael Warnock defeats slow-witted Trump sycophant Herschel Walker in December, Brandon’s Democrats will edge up to 51 seats in the Senate. In a further victory for Democracy, election-denying candidates for secretary of state across the nation were defeated.
The House looks like it will be GOP-owned by a few seats, but a narrow path remains for Nancy Pelosi to stay in command there. 218 seats for one party are required to be the majority. It will be tough for Republicans to do business with a number that slim. Absences, deaths, arrests and other issues keep members out of service routinely. Whoever the GOP installs as Speaker of the House will have a tall task wreaking the typical havoc they normally undertake (See: Benghazi hearings).
Further complicating Trump’s political existence is the rise of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who swept to victory in his election. Trump took aim at DeSantis after the election, even mentioning his wife in one of his childish jabs, but the hard-right Governor has yet to respond.
