It would be great if Dems had the House too but a part of me wants the GOP to take it. I would love to see the GOP spend two years holding impeachments and sham investigations to worse their chances in 2024.

There’s that but also the likelihood they’d run amok and not agree a budget and scare the shit out of the markets to try and hurt Biden.

Likelihood?

Likelihood?

I wouldn’t dismiss it. The GOP has proved time and time again they are not afraid of torpedoing the economy for political points.

UK residents should be familiar with this in the Tory government.

True. I believe the GOP could/would pressure Biden to make concessions on Social Security and Medicare if they don’t get what they want. Especially since the House GOP will have a slim majority which means they crazies will have a larger say.

Worst part is that since Biden is president they could easily frame it as a Democrats/Biden failure.

I was implying it was more of a certainty.

I think it may hurt Walker’s chances cause now the GOP have no reason to uplift a Trump candidate. But let’s see….

Just so. On the flip side, Democrats may not feel the urgency to support Warnock now that the Senate is theirs. Could go either way.

I think the Dems have been planning for this. They have been running a very tight fiscal ship. By almost all measures they have put government debt in a better place (although its still up and due to rates the cost is high).

Just so. On the flip side, Democrats may not feel the urgency to support Warnock now that the Senate is theirs. Could go either way.

Same applies to the GOP. And the more you see of hershall walker the more you see why he came second. He's dumb as a rock.

With those two turncoats in their Senate, they’ll go all in on Warnock.

Imagine still both siding cunts like these
