The Battle for Control of Congress Is Serious Business
The 2020 presidential election somewhat overshadowed the very important contests for the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, and the 35 seats that were up for election in the Senate. As the dust has settled, it appears the Republicans gained several seats in the House — albeit still short of a majority in that body — and also appear likely to keep their majority in the Senate. Democrats in Congress and in the mainstream media had been confidently predicting a “blue wave” that would gain them seats in the House and enable them to capture the Senate.
It did not happen. Instead, the composition of the next Congress will illustrate the deep political and social divisions that exist in the country. While Republicans in Congress exhibit less-than-stellar dedication to the principles embedded in our federal Constitution, the Democrats have lurched far to the left in the past few years, openly and brazenly advocating radically changing our established form of government.
With the Democrats’ House majority being diminished, and if the Republicans do keep the Senate by winning at least one of two senatorial run-off contests in Georgia on January 5, the most radical goals of the present leadership of the Democratic Party will be stymied for the next two years. We can expect millions of dollars to be poured into the twin Senate contests in Georgia.
