Jason Chaffetz: Biden, Harris win means big changes for House and Senate
Going forward a Republican-controlled Senate will take on the role of stopping the crazy policy ideas.
By Jason Chaffetz | Fox News
Fox News has projected that former Vice President Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States.
While the legal challenges from President Trump persist, and they should, no matter who wins the White House will be dealing with a dramatically different United States House of Representatives and Senate.
Fortunately, there was no big blue wave. Ultimate control of U.S. Senate does not appear, at this writing, to have flipped. If this turns out to be the case when final results of the 2020 election are in, Republicans may be able to keep Democrats from controlling both houses of Congress and the White House. That would mean Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., will not get to become majority leader. Phew.
Based on preliminary results, Republicans have 50 Senate seats (this assumes that Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska and Sen. Thom Tillis in North Caroline go Republican). Both Republican Senators in Georgia will be in a runoff election in January. Undoubtedly this will be the most expensive race in history with the potential of a billion dollars being spent in Georgia.
If Republicans can win at least one of the two, they can maintain control in the Senate. All eyes will be on this race as the balance of Senate power remains in the balance.
With the House of Representatives remaining under Democratic control, a Republican Senate is needed to prevent the Democrats from packing the Supreme Court, changing the filibuster rule, and implementing the radical left-wing agenda promised to Democratic primary voters.
