I know its not over but it does look like the R's will take the House and we keep the Senate.
Keeping the Senate allows Biden to get judges and other nominations approved. Also adds a firewall to stop any bogus legislation the House tries to push through although Biden would veto it anyway.
Republican control of the House will probably go to their head and will attempt to do crazy things just to harass Biden like investigations into Hunter Biden, the FBI and DOJ. These will fail and will remind voters Republicans are not fit to govern. But I think the biggest mistake they are going to make will be regarding the debt ceiling. I think they are going to hold the country hostage by not approving a debt ceiling increase. I think there will be a government shutdown and Biden wont flinch. I wont predict what specifically will happen but I believe Joe will win this face off and will come off looking like an amazing leader and make the Republicans look like desperate fools.
This will be an excellent precursor to the elections in 2024.

The spin mills are churning overtime coming up with ways to deny us what weve so clearly demanded.
