even if Republicans won, they wouldn’t have much power. None of their ideas would get through the Senate and signed by Biden. And any phony investigation they undertake would be laughed at by the DOJ. They could (and probably would) impeach Biden but that wouldn’t get the 66 votes in the Senate to remove him. But yeah, we need to keep both houses of Congress.
