US House Passes Resolution to Open Government- Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 1.23am post that the House of Representatives passes Resoultion to open Government, six Democrats supported the move.

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats caved in the Senate and six Democrats in the House supported the move, are they running for re-election is an interesting question? If they are they will face a left wing primary fight.  The Resoultion now goes to POTUS for his signature.  At the end the Republicans won, but at the cost of having another vote in Janury 2026.  Politics never ends in Washington D.C.

Happy End to Iran - Contra - Reagan Era

 CNN: Reports that Lt. Colonel Oliver North ( Marine Retired ) has married his former Iran - Contra Secretary Fawn Hall.

Lets Get Real:

Thus happly end to Iran - Contra, the couple were widowers, thus gives us all hope of finding love later on in life.  As President Reagan stated Ollie North is an American hero, he kept the Contra Freedom fighters going in Nicaragua by selling arms to Iran by and diverting profits to the freedom fighters.  When the news broke, Ms Hall destroyed documents in the shredder to cover the operation.  The right thing to do at the time, whatever the Democrats said at the time.   The operation was a costly mistake for President Reagan, it took time to recover from, in the end Bush 41 won in 1988, the American people forgave the Gipper, thus 1st Vice President to succeed his boss in over a hundred years, with the exception of assassination or resignation.

President Biden on the NON Banking Crisis - Biden Era

White House: Statement by President on the failure of two banks in the US and the reaction by the Government, " Remarks by President Biden on Maintaining a Resilient Banking System and Protecting our Historic Economic Recovery....THE PRESIDENT:  Good morning, everyone.  Before I leave for California, I want to briefly speak about what’s happening to Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. 

 

Today, thanks to the quick action of my administration over the past few days, Americans can have confidence that the banking system is safe.  Your deposits will be there when you need them. 

 

Small businesses across the country that had deposit accounts at these banks can breathe easier knowing they’ll be able to pay their workers and pay their bills.  And their hardworking employees can breathe easier as well. 

 

Last week, when we learned of the problems of the banks and the impact they could have on jobs, some small businesses, and the banking system overall, I instructed my team to act quickly to protect these interests.  They have done that.  They have done that.

 

On Friday, the government regulator in charge, the FDIC, took control of Silicon Valley Bank’s assets.  And over the weekend, it took control of Signature Bank’s assets. 

 

Treasury Secretary Yellen and a team of banking regulators have taken action — immediate action.  And here are the highlights:

 

First, all customers who had deposits in these banks can rest assured — I want to — rest assured they’ll be protected and they’ll have access to their money as of today.  That includes small businesses across the country that banked there and need to make payroll, pay their bills, and stay open for business. 

 

No losses will be — and I want — this is an important point — no losses will be borne by the taxpayers.  Let me repeat that: No losses will be borne by the taxpayers.  Instead, the money will come from the fees that banks pay into the Deposit Insurance Fund. 

 

Because of the actions of that — because of the actions that our regulators have already taken, every American should feel confident that their deposits will be there if and when they need them. 

 

Second, the management of these banks will be fired.  If the bank is taken over by FDIC, the people running the bank should not work there anymore. 

 

Third, investors in the banks will not be protected.  They knowingly took a risk and when the risk didn’t pay off, investors lose their money.  That’s how capitalism works. 

 

And fourth, there are important questions of how these banks got into these circumstances in the first place.  We must get the full accounting of what happened and why those responsible can be held accountable.  In my administration, no one, in my view — no one is above the law. 

 

And finally, we must reduce the risks of this happening again.  During the Obama-Biden administration, we put in place tough requirements on banks like Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, including the Dodd-Frank Law, to make sure the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again. 

 

Unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements.  I’m going to ask Congress and the banking regulators to strengthen the rules for banks to make it less likely that this kind of bank failure will happen again and to protect American jobs and small businesses. 

 

Look, the bottom line is this: Americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe.  Your deposits are safe. 

 

Let me also assure you: We will not stop at this.  We’ll do whatever is needed on top of all this.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is not the 2007/08 near banking collapse, rumours should be seen as rumours, the US and the West has regulated the banks and the markets since then.   President Biden is running for re-election, thus he will make sure that people can get to the cash in their banks.   Thus individual and business accounts are safe, this is not and I repeat it, there is no danger to YOUR MONEY. Wall Street is just reacting to the news, and share holders in banks are getting worried, there is no need to worry.  POTUS would lose re-election if he messed this up, so he wont, the Democrats on the Hill will back POTUS, they have no choice, he is their candidate in 2024. 

Political HEADWINDS facing POTUS - State of the Union - Biden Era

CNN: Reports " Polls show many Democrats are unenthusiastic about another Biden candidacy. The ABC News/Washington Post survey indicated 58% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents would prefer someone other than Biden as the nominee in 2024.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the political problems for POTUS as two fold, his age, he is seen as to old, and the economy that should be helping him, is not working for most Americans, inflation is still to high for them, and the repeat by the White House and liberal CNN that the US has the lowest unemployment in 50 years does not make up for the costs of living faced by Americans.  Of course the White House will point out the fact that the two years that the Democrats controlled the Congress they pushed through the Biden Agenda, the problem is that NOW that the Republicans have the House, they Bidne Agenda is DEAD on the Hill and the Republicans hard right have a might influence over the Republican Majority in the House, thus they will say NO to agenda aims of the Biden Oval.  Thus the President has talk about his WINS, but also make the case that he is the candidate that the Democrats should want in 2024, of course that only works if Donald Trump is the Republican candidate, if not the Democrats and the Biden Campaign have a major problem.  On foreign policy it can be argued by Democrats that POTUS has done a good job, they will stress the Ukraine and shooting down the Chinese Balloon, while the Republicans will talk about the humiliation of the US leaving Kabul in Afghanistan and the days that the Chinese balloon spent over the US.  President Biden does not have an easy speech, let's recall that POTUS has a habit of letting his mind wonder, and looks like he has lost the plot, he cannot afford those kind of mistakes in the State of Union.  It is reported in the LIBERAL New York Times that POTUS will request a billionaire tax, that is going nowhere fast, the Democrats in the Senate might pass it, but the Republican House will kill it, whenever Democrats start talking TAX HIKES, they lose the public, they American people KNOW, that there are not that many billionaires, and it's the Middle Class that gets dumped on for tax hikes, this billionaire TAX might work with the Democratic base, never works on the American people. 

Biden's poll numbers in the TOILET - 2024 Candidate/2024 Presidential Election - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.32pm post the following, " Joe Biden remains an unpopular president, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released today finds....Biden’s approval rating was 40% in the poll conducted over three days till Sunday, just a smidgen higher than the 39% reported a month ago and remaining near the lowest level ever recorded of his presidency.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems form news reports that POTUS is still thinking about running in 2024 an so are his staff, let's recall the late great President, Ronald Reagan went down to 35% in his polling rating on Gallup in the early years of his Presidency.  Also let's recall that that in 1984 he won 49 States, 59% of the vote and 525 electoral college votes and left in 1988 with a gallup rating of 63%, only Bill Clinton got more at 66% at the end of his Presidency.   At its fair to say these two President has their own scandals, Bill Clinton's being the most sordid with his affair with an intern.  The main fact being that these Presidents came back in to favour with the public, but only Reagan's VP, George H.W. Bush become President after his boss, it was seen as Reagan's third term.  Thus back to Biden, let's be clear Biden is not worthy to clean the late President's Reagan golf shoes, but on the whole he has had a successful first two years with the Congress, and things were looking up, inflation down a bit, unemployment down to the lowest in 50 years, and then classified files were found in one of his office and a home, and Special Counsel was give the job of investigation the matter.  The Biden Oval really needs to think, will the investigation last two years, it is simple for the Special Counsel to ask to interview the President, the files were found in his office and home, it should not take that much time.  Then the Congress will have investigations, the Biden Oval is painting them as extreme, might not work, Biden is NO REAGAN or even BILL CLINTON, people have been wondering with his age, is he losing track of things, he has shown that many times.  Thus an easy way to explain not running, the Democrats do not want to be stuck with a President who can only win if Donald Trump is the Republican candidate, what if the Republicans chose someone else, Biden becomes a former President.  The done deal that Biden will run in 2024 is not a 100%, events, events as a former UK PM once stated can thrown the game in the air and President Biden has to wait for what the Special Counsel does, the Congress with investigations of him and his son and what happens over seas, with the Ukraine, Russia, Iran, North Korea and China's threat to invade Taiwan.   EVENTS, EVENTS!!

No German Tanks unless the US sends its TANKS - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine war: German tanks for Ukraine depend on US approval...Germany will only send battle tanks to Ukraine if the US does the same, multiple reports suggest.  "

Lets Get Real:

It's time for Berlin to stand up to the Russians, the US has sent billions in economic and military support to Kiev, as for the Germany, there main support has been military caps!  The Germans have to get over their PAST, it's time to send TANKS to the Ukraine, if the delay it might be to late, do they want the Russians on the border of NATO Countries like Poland, that can only lead to World War 3, IF modern Germany wants to be considered a REAL POWER in Europe then it needs to send its tanks, it cannot always expect the US and the UK to carry the main burden, Biden might need the Congress to support the idea of sending tanks, at present the House is held by the Republicans, they might delay, as they are in the thrall of Donald Trump.  It should be recalled that the UK is sending 14 Challenger 2 tanks, many more might be needed, the Ukraine can't be expected to fight an die for the West if the WEST will not give it what it wants in military kit.  About time for Biden to tell Germany, get a move on, or else they will be seen as appeasing Putin, and Germany knows what happens when the West appeases tyranny.

NO Visitor Logs for Biden Home - Fox News - Biden Era

Fox News: Reports " No visitor logs exist for Biden's Wilmington home, site of classified doc discovery, WH " counsel's office says  "

Lets Get Real:

This is either good luck or bad luck for POTUS depending on your perspective, on this one this blog would give Biden a pass, the house is his private residence, who takes logs on people going in and out of a private residence.  The Republicans will make hay out of this, they want to and create the impression that classified files were open to any can see, if the President's son Hunter Biden.  The Democrats are caught behind the 8ball, either they defend the President or they look weak by all coming to his defence.  One is sure the Special Counsel will be asking did the President know about the classified files in his own home, either no or yes are bad answer, if he didn't know, one must ask what does he know, or yes means that he broke the law.  This case is a get of jail card for Trump, does not matter how much the liberal elite media say that the cases are different, either charge both of them or cut bait, and that will be the decision of the US Attorney General.

Update on the Top Secret Files found at the Biden Home - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " More classified material found at Joe Biden's Delaware home....An additional five pages of classified material has been found in US President Joe Biden's family home in Delaware, the White House has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

It was all looking so good for President Biden, inflation was down, the economy was good, those unemployed were at a 50 year low, and Former President Trump was under investigation for the miss-handling of classified files.  Then this week happened, Biden classified files were found all over the place, at his former office, and then at his home and the White House was not getting the timeline right.  The office files were found a week before the Mid Terms, and the White House said nothing, while POTUS was critical of Trump for his handling of classified files, that looks like a HOME GOAL.  The lack of clarity from the Biden Oval forced the US Attorney General to choose a Special Counsel to investigate this mess, only in the US could have the current POTUS and the former POTUS under investigation for the very same thing, if it was not so serious it would be very funny.  This puts the AG in a tight spot, either both Presidents are charged or none are charged, if the Biden DOJ charges Trump and no Biden in a election year, then the Republicans will go bonkers on the HILL, they will make Hunter Biden's life a misery, as he shared the same home address as the Biden Classified files.  Also it will make Trump look a martyr to his base and almost make sure he is the Republican nominee in 2024 against President Biden, if he decides to RUN again.  After the above its 50/50, if the Biden Special Counsel states he would have charged POTUS but can't due to DOJ, that  President is immune then BIDEN might face impeachment by a Republican House and trial before the Senate, this could cause a faction row, do they support Biden or go with VP Harris, interesting possibility.

Special Counsel appointed to look at Classified Documents found in Biden residences - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Special counsel appointed to investigate classified documents found in Biden's home and former office...The first batch of documents were reportedly found in a "locked closet" on 2 November at an office the president used from 2017 to 2019. Now, aides have discovered a second batch at his home in Delaware.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be postulated that the US Attorney General Merrick Garland has played this in a fair manner, in many respects he had no choice, he appointed a Special Counsel for the former President  Donald Trump, also the Republicans in the House and the Senate would have hit the roof if he had tried to keep the issue within the DOJ.  The question that has to be asked, will POTUS now run for a 2nd term, in the view of the DOJ a sitting President can not be charged with any crime, thus what if it becomes serious and the faults lie with Biden, will the US House impeach him ?, YES, is the simple answer if they think they have a case, the Democrats in the House and the Senate should keep their powder dry, they might not want to jump on the Biden boat if it turns out to be the Titanic.  Interesting times ahead, if nothing else to see the CNN anchors getting their knickers in to twist is stating that the Biden and Trump case are not like, good luck with that, people hear the term Special Counsel and assume the worst. 

2nd Batch of Classified Files found for the time POTUS was VP to Obama - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Second batch of classified Biden documents found...US President Joe Biden's aides have found a fresh batch of classified government records at a second location, in a growing political embarrassment for the White House.  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS has found himself in a glass house, he was critical of former President Trump for keeping files and now a 2nd batch of his files while in the Obama Administration has been found.  Thus one can assume that these files are six years old, how come to the National Archives did not ask for them before, its gets very murky.  The Attorney General must appointee a Special Counsel as he has done with former President Trump, anything else and it will look like political and payback from the AG for his Appointment to the post, after not getting on the US Supreme Court, the Republicans blocked him for the post. The House Republicans will NOW have POTUS and his son Hunter in their sights, the President might want to have a second look at running for a 2nd term, if he does the Republicans will him make pay a heavy price, there will be endless House hearings on these two batches of files held by POTUS after leaving the VP in 2017.

Classified Documents found in former Biden Office - 6 years Late - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Classified documents found from Biden’s time as VP, White House cooperating with DOJ...The White House is working with the Justice Department as it reviews classified documents from when President Biden served as vice president that were found in a private office last fall.  "

Lets Get Real:

It was fun seeing CNN trying to justify President Biden having TOP SECRET documents in his possession from his years as VP to President  Obama.  This will be used by Republicans to hammer the Biden Oval and Biden Department of Justice, there are a lot of questions for the President Biden to answer, who moved the documents from their secure area, who had access, why did it take 6 years and how come the national archive did not ask for them, were they playing favourites.  One can postulate that most modern Presidents take secret documents with them, let's recall at the centre of the LBJ Library there is glass box, with a letter marked X on it and when it should be opened.  The information inside was how the FBI tracked the Nixon efforts to persuade the South Vietnam Government in 1968 not to go to the Paris Peace talks, that they would have a better deal under President Nixon than with LBJ.  The reverse happened in the fullest of time.  President Johnson knew he had the goods on Richard Nixon but did not want to cause a political crisis after Nixon had won Presidency, he made sure that Nixon knew he knew, and thus Nixon played ball with any requests from LBJ.  It can be postulated that the Watergate scandal has its origins in this matter. One can assume the Republicans will jump on this, the small print won't matter, either Trump and Biden are prosecuted or they are not, it cannot be one rule for the Democrats and another rule for the Republicans. 

US House Speaker Vote or Votes - Day 4 - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Kevin McCarthy hopes for deal as US House Speaker fight hits day four...."

Lets Get Real:

This endless face of voting and voting has to come to an end, for once Former President Trump could be of use, he should threaten to support any candidate that challenges the Republican Rebels if they do get a move on.  It seems that Kevin McCarthy will have no power if he gets the gavel, he is making concessions ALL OVER THE PLACE.  The role of Speaker is only as powerful as the Speaker, if the Speaker can be thrown out at any time by any member it leads to chaos in the political process.  The Democrats do not get away from blame either, they could support some of their members getting to vote with the Republicans, no deals, just the right thing to do, think the TV show, West Wing on LSD, of course that will never happen, the costs are to much, and any deal like that would FALL apart as the Republicans still have 218 seats, a 4 seat majority.  Another long day then, get out the coffee. 

The House Speaker Vote - Day 3 - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " GOP discusses new concessions in behind-the-scenes talks on making McCarthy Speaker...  "

Lets Get Real:

The last few days have been a disaster for the Republicans, the Democrats have come across as united when they are not, and the Biden Oval must be thinking that a Republican Congress will not be that BAD, if this is the way they behave to each other.  There are only so many concessions you can give as Speaker or it is pointless to have the job, if you go to talks with POTUS, he knows that you might have real difficulties in getting anything through the House Republicans never mind the Congress.  The arch problem is that the Trump supporters are no longer listening to him, they have gone rogue, and have gone off the reservation, how does the former President get them under control again, he should threaten to support any candidate against those that remain rouge, his influence might be low State wide but in the Republican Primary his can be the support that pushes a candidate pass the winning line.  These endless votes cannot go on, nothing can be done on the Hill without a Speaker. 

US House Adjourning till 8pm Tonight - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.39pm post the following, " House is adjourning until 8pm ET...This will give members about three and a half hours to hash things out. McCarthy could try to make deals with Republican holdouts – or bow out.  "

 Lets Get Real:

This has been a disgrace by the Republican Party, where are the elder Statesmen of the Party, and more important how come former President Trump has not done more, they are his followers, or have they gone totally rogue, the US image around the World is taking a battering by the extreme right in the Republican Party.  The Democrats will be drinking out of these past two nights for years, the extreme right is making the Squad on the Democratica side look stable, and that is saying something.   It is time for some back room deals, it has to be made clear to the 20, that when the Republicans take the Speakership that their actions will not be forgotten if they carry on this way, one can see the political adverts already for 2024, Biden will be laughing his backside off, the Republicans have to unite behind McCarthy or someone else, and it has to be done either tonight or tomorrow, the Party of Lincoln and Reagan are making the US look like a banana Republic, this has to STOP.   

Trump BACKS Kevin McCarthy for Speaker - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Trump backs Kevin McCarthy for new speaker as Republican hardliners block appointment amid chaos in US House...It is the first time in 100 years that a nominee for House speaker failed to be appointed on the first vote with the process leaving the Republicans bitterly divided, despite taking control of the House in the recent elections.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus TRUMP has spoken, the question is will the extreme right even listen to him, in the Mid Terms Trump got his candidates to be the nominee, but they LOST BIG TIME, Thus there are limits to the power of the Trump when it comes to general election, the extreme right might think they can buck Trump, as Trump might not be the nominee the next time, let's not forget his legal problems and his base in the Party is about 30% to 35%, it depends how many candidates there are for the nomination, if there are a lot the base vote that Trump has could be enough to get him the nomination.  Thus Trump must really place pressure on those holdouts in the House, he should remind them that he can get candidates to run against the in the Primaires, let's see if he has the guts to play hardball with his own followers.  Fun day ahead with new rounds for the choosing of a House Speaker.  No prediction from this blog on the outcome of this election, the freedom caucus is bonkers!

The Speaker of the House Part 2 - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " US House in chaos after Kevin McCarthy loses speaker votes  "

Lets Get Real:

The House Democrats must be having fun, seeing the Republicans tear themselves apart, they should worry also, if the Party gets a Republican Speaker, that does not mean Kevin McCarthy or it might be him,  he will have to follow the wants of the extreme right, thus a lot of Congressional investigations in to Afghanistan and Hunter Biden.  Down the road the Biden Oval will be looking at moderate Republicans who might vote with the Democrats on different parts of the Biden Agenda, and to see how they can get these Republicans to agree to go against the party will.  One hopes that after a good night's rest and some deals in smoke filled rooms, the Republican Party can nominate a Speaker who can get 218 votes.  It is always good to have oversight of the a Administration, the Democrats allowed the Biden Oval to get away with its disastrous Afghanistan policy and showed no interest in Hunter Biden.  It could be a long day, it's fun watching the sausage ( how politics really works ) as its being made.  That is why US politics is so fun, and now the Yanks cannot complain about our three PM's in a year and our mini budget.

The Democratic Charges against former President Trump - Democratic House - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports  " January 6 committee recommends criminal charges against Donald Trump...Former president Trump's behaviour during the January 6 US Capitol riots has been branded an "utter moral failure and a clear dereliction of duty" by an investigating committee, who say he is "unfit for any office".  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the worse thing the Democrats could have done, the new House Republicans majority will be looking for ways to rubbish the Committee, it had only had Republicans who hate Trump anyway, and its reports will be seen as Partisan by many US voters.  The Democratic House Committee it can be argued has done a good job of showing what President Trump did after the 2020 Election and on January 6th, by adding charges the outgoing Democratic House has lost the plot.  The House Committee is not the US Senate Committee of Senator Ervin that looked into WATERGATE that had Republicans, who's Republicans LOST after a through investigation.  The Biden Democratic Department of Justice, does not need referrals from the US House, in fact it causes problems, if the DOJ does bring charges it will be open to charges that it was forced on it by the Democrats and the Court cases could take years, and God forbid Trump could be President again.  The Democrats have shot themselves in the foot, a bad day for DEMOCRACY, at the end of it all POTUS might have to PARDON Trump as President Ford did for Nixon, that is the way of political reality, in less he wants Court Cases going on through 2024.  

The Republicans to TAKE the HOUSE - 2022 Mid Terms - Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Republicans are one seat away from securing the 218 members they need to take control of the House chamber with key wins projected in Arizona and California late Monday.  "

Lets Get Real:

Let's assume the Republicans pick up the one seat they need, the CNN Label is starting to get on my nut, why are they behind RCP and the LIBERAL New York Times, they both have the Republicans on 2017 and CNN on 215, it is as if they do not want to displease their viewership.  CNN's early show is the toilet anyway WITH its ratings, they need to be seen as the Channel that gets the NEWS first, not waiting for everybody else to announce the results.  One can assume that the Biden Agenda is DEAD in the HOUSE, in less Biden can pick a few Republicans to support his aid to the Ukraine.  One still hopes that there are Reagan National Security types in the HOUSE after the Mid Terms.  The Winter is coming to the Ukraine, one can expect the WAR to calm down a bit, that allows the Russians to train their troops and give them update weapons, while the Kyiv Government can get new supplies from the West.  The Biden Administration should be ready to be investigated every way possible, HUNTER BIDEN should get some very good and expensive lawyers, the HARD NUTS of Republican membership will be looking to charge him for something, and if possible link it to his FATHER, POTUS.  The 2024 Race starts today, if as expected Donald Trump announces that he is running for a 3rd time, his losses during the Mid Terms would make most politicians wait, not the Donald, he needs the spotlight, the Republicans need a new face, what about the Governors of Virginia and Florida, thus that would be an interesting race. 

The Democrats KEEP the SENATE - Mid Terms - Biden Era/2024 Cycle Starts

BBC News: Reports " The Democrats will retain majority control of the US Senate after winning a pivotal race in the state of Nevada.....Republicans could still take control of the US House of Representatives as votes continue to be tallied... "

Lets Get Real:

The Mid Terms were a rebuke for Donald Trump and the Republican Party, the Trump has destroyed the national security, low taxes, small government agenda of Ronald Reagan, a great President.  The Republicans could still take the House, but his blog is not counting on that, the results so far have been dire for the Republicans.  On the whole POTUS can smile, the best result a President has had in decades, but, and there is always a BUT, the Democrats have to worry if Biden is heads the ticked in 2024 and the Republicans chose any one but TRUMP, this blog endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, if the Republican Party can get its ACT TOGETHER, then this blog might look again at the Republicans.  POTUS has a 40% approval rating, the US has high inflation, and wages are not matching inflation.  POTUS should have LOST THE CONGRESS, the US voter did not trust the Republicans in charge and under the influence of Trump, thus the vote in the Mid Terms for the Democrats.  Both Parties have a lot of soul searching to do before 2024.

Republican House Control ? - US Mid Terms - Biden Era

NBC News: Reports  on its projection for control of the House, " Though NBC News cannot project control of the House at this time, the Decision Desk has released its estimate for the U.S. House of Representatives as a whole, which reflects the most probable outcome for partisan control.."

Lets Get Real:

In their projection based on the present vote the Republicans take the House my a very small majority, in fact 4 SEATS, thus the if the NEW Speaker is a Republican he will have to keep a tight control on is members.  It only takes four or five of them to join the other side on different issues for the majority to disappear.  One can assume that Ukraine funding is SAFE, the Democrats it would assume can count on old style National Security Republicans, not followers of Trump to support the AID from the US to the Ukraine.  Also with such a small majority it will survive for two years, people resign, get ill etc, thus the Democrats should be ready to take back control.  The Biden Oval will be very happy, if the results follow through this will be smallest loss by President in decades, one can assume that the Senate will go Democratic, either by Seats or by the VP have the final vote should it be a 50/50 split.  Thus the race for 2024 starts NOW, Biden might like his chances for re-election, even more so if the Republican nominee is Donald Trump, that would be a mistaken conclusion, two years is a long time, and Biden might lose support, thus POTUS really has to think, does he want a 2nd term, what if the Republicans chose the newly re-elected Governor of Florida, younger than Biden, more the Trump agenda, without the FLAWS of TRUMP.
