I haven’t seen this discussed anywhere, and maybe it’s because it is obvious to americans or maybe it’s because I got this all wrong, anyway:
After the midterms I suppose we all expect the Republicans to gain seats in both congress and the senate. If it truly is a tsunami, a red wave like never before; sixty seats in the senate and a majority in congress is at least what I expect.
Then Biden will become a lame duck, a president with no real power. Republicans in congress can come up with whatever they like, and Republicans in the senate will just pass it. Is Trump even needed to turn things around at that point? I belive things will change fast after the midterms.
Manchin might be a little POd since it appears the dems are renigging on their side of the deal for him to support climate fiasco bill so they may not be able to get anything passed even using reconciliation tactic.
