Obama lost 63
Clinton lost 52
Reagan lost 26
Carter lost 15
Biden’s house is a dead heat.
OUTSTANDING night for dems
And even with control of the house that's no guarantee, they will be able to do all the stuff they want to do. The Dems even in the minority can run interference just like the Republicans did.
The RINOs will frustrate the agenda of the MAGAs. It is to Biden's advantage not to have his agenda pass, as it will give him something to campaign on in 2024 (assuming that he is still coherent enough to campaign; be thankful for Chuck Grassley's victory), namely, codifying Roe v. Wade as federal law, which Trump (if he is not on his way to jail) would have no choice but to oppose. Assuming that both men campaign, Biden will crush Trump. Trump knows this, but running for President and losing is better for his image than an orange jump suit wearing handcuffs & shackles, which will figure prominently in history books for centuries; Trump knows this, also.
