As Election Day draws closer, political analysts are trying to read the tea leaves and predict how House and Senate races across the country shake out.
The best outcome we may wish to expect is a divided government. In the present political environment, if both House and Senate as well as Presidency go to one party, there is a chance that if Democrats are the winners, we'll first get elimination of the filibuster, then get an overhaul of the SC, followed if they are really audacious, by admitting Puerto Rico and Washington DC as states. We will have to hope for n ~50-50 split in the Senate so that the moderate senators can block passage, which is all that much more difficult now that Sinema and Manchin will be gone. All the while our deficit will keep increasing. Harris as President, 51 - 49 Senate (R-D) and the House up for grabs , and continued budgetary and legislative backlog and bickering may be the best outcome for the country, even with Executive orders still being ordered by the sitting President.
