If R’s hold the Senate then the only far left move’s Biden will make are those through executive order. It seems to me immigration will be where those moves will be.
Which aren’t far left at all anyways.
I would be shocked if the GOP doesn’t take back the House in 2022.

I’d give them a 75%+ chance to do that.
Redistricting and a Democratic president will give them that edge.

Dems flipped 3 seats so far. Two in NC and one in GA, correct?
They won’t however. The gop will vote for Kevin McCarthy.
Sorry your fantasy won’t happen
I expect cries of “FRAUD” and demands of a recount to begin soon.
No doubt O’Keefe is already slipping into his pimp suit, ready to go undercover at the Four Seasons to reveal some scandalous bombshell of thermonuclear proportions.

Probably the Dems select their candidate before it hits the floor and then all Dems stick together?
All Executive Orders considered to be going too far, for example DACA for instance will go to the Supreme Court.

If he tries an amnesty by EO then pretty sure it will hit the Supreme Court. As I recall, DACA was split 4 to 4, after Scalia’s death. Two more SC appointments have been made since then by Trump. Biden can’t count on an EO amnesty.

Republicans will be demanding recounts any day now.
Because we have to be sure, you understand.

My understanding is only the majority party gets a vote for the speaker and only the minority party gets to vote for minority whip. Could be wrong though.

nope, looked it up
from Speaker of the United States House of Representatives - Wikipedia
Representatives who choose to vote for someone other than their party’s nominated candidate usually vote for someone else in their party or vote “present”. Anyone who votes for the other party’s candidate would face serious consequences, as was the case when Democrat Jim Traficant voted for Republican Dennis Hastert in 2001 (107th Congress). In response, the Democrats stripped him of his seniority and he lost all of his committee posts.[9]
Really worked out badly for him, then he went to jail for seven years for bribery and then crushed by rolling his tractor. so yeah, not a great role model to emulate heh.
Midterms are almost historically bad for the first term incumbent.

If the blue wave happened and Biden didn’t squeak in maybe, but I don’t think he wants that battle (immigration) with it being so close not to mention it be one of the big reasons that brought Trump into office in the first place and I did look at the law, Trump can run again if he wants to and 2024.
As of right now it looks like the Republicans are going to pick up no less than 10 maybe 11 house seats. And now the election is over what is going to be the immigration stance for the Biden? “We want increased illegal immigration”. Highly doubtful.
These people are always running for reelection, we want increased illegals just is not a powerful message for reelection the majority of people don’t want increased illegal immigration there might be some nutters in Congress that do but I just see him trying to leave the issue and see if he can get anything done, I would imagine the so-called moderates that hanged on in the democratic party in the house don’t want that either for the midterms.

At Biden’s age, not sure he is even planning on running again.
I don’t see too much going on in the next two years. Biden brings back the DACA program, ends the unlimited detention, stops the family separation policy and that’s about it on immigration.

Ya DACA is still around remember the Republicans didn’t want to vote on it so they let the supreme court vote on it and they didn’t do overturn it.
