Even if Trump wins, there will be no red wave, just as there was none in 2020, because House and Senate candidates are rarely held responsible for the perceived condition of the country on the date of the election. As a result, even if the GOP wins control of both the House and the Senate, the margins will be extremely slim, and the filibuster will remain in place. What does that mean for Trump’s agenda?
Not much, because the agenda revolves around executive action, not legislation. Trump will be attempting to pull power away from the other two branches of government into the executive branch. Congress will be useful for keeping the lights on, cutting taxes, and reducing spending on Biden’s green energy programs. That’s about it.
And none of the GOP members of Congress will have the nerve to complain.
