2025 Preview: What America Looks Like With a Divided Presidency and Congress

While who wins control of Congress remains a coin flip, the odds are slightly in the GOP’s favor
Republicans could block Harris-Walz nominees from their roles, while Democrats would likely target Trump himself
A narrowly divided Congress would greatly limit the lasting impact of either president

The story

With the 2024 elections just over one week away, it may seem as if all eyes are on the presidency, and for good reason. However, both parties will have to compromise if they end up splitting control of the legislature and presidency. This may very well come to pass in 2025.

Voting for a Democrat is like signing you own death warrant... The old Democrat party of the people is dead and gone.... They are now Marxists and are a danger to America...

With such are close and combative election I feel it’s futile. The self serving politicians are going to ruin our country. God bless America

Leftist Democrats have nearly ruined America. One area of their success is twists of verbiage, (such as repeated reference to "our democracy" and the value of diversity over assimilating, to name just a couple) has given them the control of language. Language matters a lot!! It defines how we view history, current events, people, places, ideologies, and even ourselves. The march of leftism is a steady process that has taken us to the brink..... a Harris win will push us off the edge.

Executive orders have gotten completely out of hand and need to be curtailed by both parties. Bipartisan laws need to be passed to stop this nonsense.

Is it a surprise that our government is broken when elected offices are essentially sold to the highest bidder? A billion dollars spent on a campaign to purchase the presidency is a national disgrace! We’re in a class war between the working class and elites. Right now they have the power. It’s time to take back our country.
