CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 6, 2024
IT TOOK ONE MONTH BUT CALFORNIA HAS FINALLY FINISHED COUNTING ELECTION VOTES. ONE MONTH! THEY SHOULD LOOK TO FLORIDA, AS SHOULD ALL STATES. FLORIDA HAD ITS BALLOTS COUNTED LATE IN THE EVENING OF ELECTION DAY.
THE FINAL CALIFORNIA SEAT WAS FLIPPED TO A DEMOCRAT. WITH SEVERAL REPUBLICANS LEAVING CONGRESS TO JOIN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THAT GIVES REPUBLICANS THE SLIMMEST MAJORITY IN A CENTURY AND COULD BE A TIE IF ALL REPUBLICANS AND ALL DEMOCRATS VOTE ALIKE. A TIE MEANS ALL PROPOSED LEGISLATION WOULD BE DEFEATED.
SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON SAYS HE’S AWARE OF THE MATH AND HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES WITH MEMBERS FOR DAYS. JOHNSON SAYS HE KNOWS CONGRESS MUST ACT QUICKLY ON PRESIDENT-ELECT PRIORITIES, OR LOSE MOMENTUM.
THIS MEANS ESPECIALLY THE PUREST REPUBLICANS WHO WANT EVERYTHING AND WON’T COMPROMISE NEED TO SET ASIDE THEIR PERSONAL AGENDAS AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS UNIQUE MOMENT TO CHANGE WASHINGTON AS IT HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED BEFORE. OTHERWISE THIS OPPORTUNITY IS UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE, EXCEPT MORE DEBT AND THE DEEP STATE WILL GET EVEN DEEPER.. I’M CAL THOMAS
