The Cavalry has arrived.  That’s you, the remainder of voters who will post the colors and conclude our voting in person, which, incidentally, is the way all of our voting should take place across the nation – on Election Day.

We’ve heard it before – the stakes couldn’t be higher.  Yes, it’s the day we learn who will control the House and Senate, but more so, today is the day we determine what kind of country this is going to be leading to the next presidential election. 

With victories in the House and Senate, it will be the Republican Party’s opportunity to begin the restoration of conservative governance.  To make good on the votes of those who (80 percent according to CBS/YouGov) said the country is “out of control,” and those (65 percent according to Rasmussen Reports) who say the country is on the “wrong track”). 

Even Democrat pollster John Zogby gives Republicans the edge, “because women are ditching the Democrats due to the higher costs of food and gas and surging crime in neighborhoods and stores they shop in.”       

A Republican Congress with a Democrat president can do more than you might think. With control of the purse strings, we can control spending, and better yet, we can withdraw funds. 

If Biden is hopeful of any kind of legacy at all, he will look back at what President Clinton achieved through collaboration with Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1994.  Assuming Kevin McCarthy will have earned the speakership, I expect him to  effectively manage our return to greatness with the Commitment to America,

No longer dangling on the strings of Nancy Pelosi, and hopefully Chuck Schumer, Biden could salvage a few of his “feel good” issues if he’s willing to get serious about climate change funding, restore our energy independence and secure the southern border once and for all.

If he decides to use his veto pen, however, we can expect obstruction from the right, as we witness Biden cement the end of the Democrat Party as it has been transformed under the radical direction he has followed.

There’s More

Not to be forgotten are the gains I believe we will see in governor’s races. The left likes to say that no Democrat governor has been defeated since 2014, but I see the number of Republican governors, currently numbering 28, picking up two more today.

May God continue to bless the United States of America.
