They won because the Biden admin was a dumpster fire.

How do you describe this administration?

It's certainly off to an authoritarian start with chaotic economic impacts. My politics are extremely anti-authoritarian so I'm not at all happy. I don't care as much about the stock market, I have zero investments. I do care about wages and the job market. But it's pretty early to really judge his term. I'd guess he'll lose his Senate majority in the midterms, maybe the House too. But what really matters is what people think 3.5 years in when they're looking at the next election. I'm actually in Ohio so I've had my eye on Vance for longer than most, and I don't like him at all. Will it be a dumpster fire then? Likely. That's where the whole world seems to be going anyway. But I can't predict the future.
