As expected the Democrats have lost the House but the Senate is going to the wire. I am surprised the Democrats have not done worse as Joe Biden seems one of the least charismatic Presidents for a long time, and the world’s economic problems have had an impact on the American economy. So it looks like a political paralysis for the next couple of years. Trump sponsored candidates appear to have done less well than predicted – although predictably he is claiming great success. It looks likely that he would have problems in getting the Republican nomination.
