The prevailing sentiment among pundits in the run-up to the 2024 election was that it would be a close contest between two evenly matched voter blocs of Republicans and Democrats, making it tough to know who won until every single vote was counted.
Thank for this perceptive post. It once again shows the ultimate sensibility of the American voters to have divided government. The make up of congress, together with some of Trump's most recent cabinet nominees does not bode well for efficient and acceptable action in the next two years with regard to the most pressing National problems (debt, immigration, defense) unless the more moderate members of congress stick together and help forge compromises. 2026 will loom almost immediately when the new congress convenes so there will be lots of attention on "how do we retake or keep the House or Senate", hopefully not more attention than is needed to address our problems.

It is a return to a long missed era. Thanks for pointing that out. Dorsey
