My post last week encouraged folks to vote and it seems that they did! The expected red wave didn't happen, but Republicans will control the House of Representatives next year and the Democratic control of the Senate is razor thin, so the Dems shouldn't be celebrating either.
Nancy Pelosi will finally be stepping down as Speaker of the House. She should have stepped down some time ago, in my opinion. I hope Hakeem Jeffries replaces her as Minority Speaker next year. I don't think Pelosi did a bad job as speaker, but she stayed in the job too long. Like a lot of folks in government across both parties (McConnell, Graham, Feinstein, Schumer, Durbin, etc.), these people need to retire already and let someone else have the job. They've stayed in government too long. I know they keep getting elected and that's the fault of the people in their districts, but they also don't seem to know when to step aside. Their egos and selfishness have caused a lot of the gridlock we see in government. Sadly, many of these folks are too concerned with holding onto whatever power they have instead of serving the people of their districts.
