After Georgia runoff results, here's what to expect from Senate, House for next two years

Listen to this article 0:00 / 4:18 1X BeyondWords Now that the U.S. Senate run-off in Georgia between Herschel Walker and Sen. Raphael Warnock is behind us, the final results of the 2022 midterm elections are in. This is an opportune moment to examine what happened at the polls and what we can expect from the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives in the 118th Congress starting in January 2023.

With incumbent Raphael Warnock’s victory, Democrats will return to Washington with a 51 to 49 majority in the U.S. Senate. Although Senate Democrats only managed a net pick-up of one seat this election cycle despite an extremely favorable map, that lone seat carries with it great significance. Recall that for two years left-wing talking heads and so-called experts were predicting the Democrats could win Senate races in Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, and even Utah. In the end, only John Fetterman in the Keystone State succeeding in flipping one of these coveted seats.

But with Senator-elect Fetterman’s 51st vote, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democrats will now be able to approve President Biden’s left-wing judicial nominees with greater ease and can launch oversight investigations and issue subpoenas as they see fit.

We should have won the GA, PA, AZ, and NV Senate races. As for the House, we should have a 20-40 seat majority. Then there’s the governor races where we should have won in AZ, WI, MI and PA. Trying to portray the midterms as a victory for us is putting lipstick on a pig.

I guess it makes me mad enough to type it out the way I did, though perhaps I shouldn’t have.

Trump may be the titular head of the GOP, but he doesn't run it. McDaniel, McConnell and McCarthy do, and this loss is on them.

Trump endorsed McDaniel and McCarthy for their leadership roles.

Don’t forget auditing all small businesses especially those that supported MAGA.

I bet we find out we didn’t win anything at all, the “wins” were strategically allowed for plausible deniability.

I think you may be right.

I remember the Carter years and this is worse.

That comes in phase III, but the task at hand is mind-splittingly obvious:

1. SCOTUS must be flipped in order to liberalize the interpretation of election law and 2A.
2. 2024 must see final massive election that gives all branches of government to the Communists; setting up conservatives to be liquidated

Everything else is window dressing. The RED LINE should be SCOTUS stacking; the equivalent of the Crown attempting to seize the black power at Lexington and Concord + arrest Sam Adams and John Hancock (Musk and Trump).

Yes. Precisely. This is why a candidate going in must have his whole “schtick” down including good advisers. If they give you GOP advisers, you’re finished.
