Democrats prevailed in the House and Senate by the skin of their teeth. In the lower chamber, they hold a 222-212 majority, with Republicans still likely to secure one more uncalled seat. Functionally, itâs 219-212 until three Democrats are chosen to replace the three Joe Biden picked off to serve in his administration. A bare majority is 218. In the Senate, Democrats cling to a 50-50+1 majority. But that doesnât mean theyâre going to pursue a 50/50 agenda of moderation.

This reality was once again driven home last week with Bidenâs insistence regarding the criminal investigation into his son: âI have, we have, great confidence in our son. Iâm not concerned about any accusations that have been made against him.â Biden then passed off the criminal investigation as âkind of foul play.â
The obvious issue for the Trump administration is whether it can truly trust that Biden would remain uninvolved in the years-long FBI investigation into his sonâs shady business dealings. Bidenâs response anytime the mainstream media has dared to ask about Hunter makes it clear that the answer is a resounding âno.â

Hans von Spakovsky thoroughly explains the situation here, noting the justices âheld that it was too early to make a decision on the issue and that New York and the other states challenging the Trump administration did not have standing (yet) to sue.â He adds, âWhat this case is about is pure political power and whether U.S. citizens will be disenfranchised and have their votes and representation in the House of Representatives dilute
