Biden doesn’t get it; America voted against him on Election Day

While Democrats held the Senate (barely) in the midterm elections, they lost the House, where all spending legislation originates. For the next two years, Republicans will control the agenda and Senate Democrats will either have to compromise or settle for gridlock.

President Biden took a victory lap Monday while on a trip to Asia. “There was a strong rejection of election deniers at every level, from those seeking to lead our states and those seeking to serve in Congress and also those seeking to oversee the elections,” the president said in Bali.

Sure, that was part of it — a very small part.

But that’s not at all the whole story. Mr. Biden lost the House — and make no mistake, it was Mr. Biden who lost the House. Why? Because Americans are fed up with soaring inflation, skyrocketing food and gas prices, out-of-control crime, and the ongoing crisis at the southern border.

Now, Republicans didn’t pull off the massive margin predicted by pollsters (how do these guys get it so wrong every time?!). But they will take over the House and slam the brakes on the president’s runaway spending train.
