In a bipartisan 63-36 vote, the Senate passed a debt limit package, bringing an end to the ongoing stalemate on negotiations. The compromised legislation contains concessions from both parties, suspending the debt limit into 2025 while also setting new caps on discretionary spending. The deal comes just days before the country was expected to default on its debt, which some experts say would've yielded catastrophic economic consequences. FOX Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains the contents of the bill, the threats to Speaker McCarthy's leadership, and what the bipartisan compromise means for the divided government. House members Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and Maria Salazar (R-FL) are spearheading a new bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill this year titled the Dignity Act, with the odds against them because despite many attempts, this kind of reform has fallen short over the past several decades. FOX News Correspondent Griff Jenkins weighs in on the probability that this bill could pass both the House and the Senate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Despite high levels of polarization, financial markets love divided government. JT Taylor is back on the podcast to explain key policy areas in which the parties agree and disagree—and how this could impact markets this year.
This week on Facing the Future, we check in with Ben Ritz - director of the Center for Funding America's Future with the Progressive Policy Institute. Ben has written a number of recent works including one exploring what President Biden's call in the State of the Union Address to 'stand up for seniors' means for Social Security and Medicare when their trust funds are on track to run out of money in the next few years. And, how to move forward meaningful, bipartisan fiscal policy in a divided Congress.

This week on Facing the Future, we talk to Theresa Cardinal Brown, managing director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center about whether the humanitarian and security crisis along the US-Mexican border will be enough to enact some fixes to our broken immigration system. Even with Republicans now controlling the House in a divided Congress, bipartisan talks are underway. Plus, we'll get analysis on the Biden administration's latest move on student loans, which may turn the federal program into grants for college.

Since making concessions to his holdouts and winning a protracted Speaker's race as a result, GOP leader McCarthy has appointed several Freedom Caucus members to the powerful House Rules Committee. Their appointment to the Rules panel gives them significant influence over when legislation is brought to the floor and how it is debated in the 118th Congress. Public Strategies' Howard Schweitzer, Mark Alderman, Rodney Davis, Towner French, and Kaitlyn Martin break down the first three weeks of the Rules Committee work. And, now that a split Congress is upon us again, with Republicans looking to deploy their power with a fragile majority in the House and Democrats looking to advance their own policy priorities in the Senate, they discuss the status of inter-party negotiations over several must-pass bills and ponder how the new era of divided government translates into the 2024 presidential politics.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Justin and Karen are joined by Jon Fansmith, the American Council on Education's incoming senior vice president of government relations, to discuss the new Congress' higher education agenda along with the Department of Education's regulatory roadmap for 2023. The team kicks things off with a recap of the fiscal year 2023 omnibus, which brought a $500 increase to the maximum Pell Grant award, before moving on to the fallout and implications that the House's historic speaker election will have on higher education policy and the latest announcements concerning the department's income-driven repayment (IDR) regulations and additional accountability initiatives.
Guest Host: Marty Carpenter With Republicans holding a slim majority in the House, and Democrats holding their control of the Senate by the barest of margins, Americans have once again voted for a divided government. Some say this is bad for the American people. But J.D. Tuccille from Reason says divided government prevents each party from ramming through policy excesses.

The United States' last legislative elections surprised many political onlookers in the country. Unlike long-standing precedent, where the president's party usually suffers severe losses during these midterm elections, the Democrats actually held control of the Senate and narrowly lost the House of Representatives. We bring together President Donald Trump's former Communications Director Alyssa Farrah Griffin together with Johanna Maska, a veteran of President Obama's Director of Press Advance. They offer a special post-mortem on the gains, losses, and the challenging roads that lie ahead for both parties over the next two years. These prominent pundits for their parties provide unvarnished and at times unexpected analysis of who may stand for the presidency in 2024, along with the international implications of these historic elections.

In this episode of Adam Talks, IRA Financial's Adam Bergman Esq. discusses the recent midterm elections and how the divided government may impact your taxes for the next couple of years.
There were a couple of surprises when the votes were tallied at the House Republican Caucus meeting. Albert Sommers defeated Mark Jennings for Speaker of the House and Chip Neiman was elected House Majority Floor Leader. This sets up a very unusual political dynamic.
Energy and gas prices continue to be a top priority for Americans. But with a divided Congress.. Republicans in the House, Democrats in the Senate... what will energy policy look like? Are there any areas where both parties can come together? Josiah Neeley from the R Street Institute breaks down what federal energy and climate policy might look like come January when new members take their seats in Congress.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss whether the relationship between Gov. Tony Evers and the GOP-controlled Legislature will change as divided government continues in Wisconsin following the Nov. 8 election. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
The 2022 midterm elections are officially behind us. Democrats overcame historical trends to keep control of the Senate, while Republicans won a majority in the House by a surprisingly narrow margin. Ultimately, there was no red wave. There wasn't really a “green wave” either. Democrats ushered through an ambitious legislative agenda, with President Biden signing historic bills to tackle climate change, build resilient infrastructure, and accelerate the deployment of American-made clean energy. Yet these issues got relatively little play this election cycle – for or against.Have we entered a new era for climate politics? Could there even be room for collaboration? Or will a divided government post-election give new life to old debates? Political Climate hosts Julia Pyper, Shane Skelton and Brandon Hurlbut dig into the midterm results, discuss what they got right — and wrong — in their election predictions, and break down what it all means for the future of climate policy in America.

Earlier this month, Americans went to the polls for the midterm elections. While some were expecting a red wave, what resulted was more of a red ripple with Republicans garnering a slim majority in the House and Democrats likely maintaining control of the Senate. In today's politically polarized climate, divided government means gridlock, and as the country grapples with high inflation, the potential for recession and heightened geopolitical tensions, this will have important implications for the kind of government action or lack thereof, we may see over the next two years. On this episode, I am joined by Michelle Mesack, Head of Federal Government Relations at JP Morgan Chase with extensive experience in government and public policy, as well as my colleague Meera Pandit, Global Market Strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, to discuss the main takeaways for investors from the midterm elections.
It's beginning to look a lot like… divided government. Democrats have won the Senate and Republicans are a seat away from winning the House. We unpack what the GOP House will be focused on (Spoiler alert: investigations into President Biden) and what legislation might actually make it in the newly split Congress.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The "red wave" of Republican gains that some predicted didn't come to pass during the midterm elections. As of Wednesday afternoon, control of both houses of Congress was still up for grabs.But it appears likely that the country is headed for a divided government. And if history is any guide, that could mean a lot of stalemates. Two political veterans explain what to expect: Ron Bonjean, a strategist with a long career of working for Republicans in both chambers of Congress, and Jim Messina, former Deputy Chief of Staff to President Obama.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.
It looks increasingly likely that the US Congress will be a divided government, with Republicans leading the House and Democrats leading the Senate.

Divided American government looks likely following the upcoming midterms. The last example of divided government happened during the Trump administration, where a Democratic house spearheaded many investigations into the President's conduct. Will history repeat in 2023? Molly Reynolds of the Brookings Institution joins the show to explore that question.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Division is often seen as a bad thing.. in politics, in DC, and among Americans. But could a divided government actually be good for the country? Especially as all signs in the polls are pointing towards a Republican House and a Democratic Senate? Podcaster and author Michael Medved explains why a divided government is normal and places much needed checks and balances on the 3 branches. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We are seeing the signs that when a single political party has little opposition in its legislatures, very bad things (in policy) occur. The poster-child in California. Terrible abuses of power are occurring and those seeking to relocated to such places (as defined by states and counties) should be forewarned. Hawaii is another great example of bad things on the horizon.
Sometimes state government is orderly; sometimes it's a mix of like ping pong, pin the tail on the donkey, Jenga, Mouse Trap and Twister. And nobody seems to be winning. This week the Legislature's COVID-19 response bill collided with Republicans' attempts to repeal the governor's statewide mask mandate — and let's just say some wackiness ensued.

After a historic week, it looks like America will head into the new year with a new president and some very encouraging news in the fight against Covid-19. The ways that these events have rippled through the markets are yet another reminder of just how complex – and how resilient – our economy is. In the weeks ahead, it will be very important that folks separate their personal feelings from their financial planning and stay focused on things that they can control. On today’s show, we discuss how the markets have reacted to the election and the pandemic with an eye towards 2021.
Chase is joined on the show by Concord Coalition Executive Director, Bob Bixby, Policy Director, Tori Gorman, Jon Lieber, managing director at the Eurasia Group, and attorney Brad Cook. They discuss the leadership and legacy of the late U.S. Senator for New Hampshire, Warren B. Rudman, on the fortieth anniversary of his first campaign for the Senate, as well as the process and implications of policymaking in a potentially-divided federal government.
The news of this election and who controls what levers of federal power is a mixed bag, but divided government might be one bright spot for libertarians. Political strategist Liz Mair makes her case. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Simon discusses how the market voted this week in what was an impressive post-election surge. He talks about sector moves - which might be sustainable and which look more like knee jerk reactions. He argues that divided government is often positive for stocks over intermediate-longer timeframes and this time may not be any different.

After days of hand wringing, the Election skids toward divided government, which is to say NO GOVERNMENT.And in the context of anarchy, the market rejoices that new regulation will be impossible, even if the stimulus hopes have fallen into the sea. Which is a way of saying, there is certainty that nothing will get done.And to boot, China ETFs burst on the prospect of a China-friendlier Biden administration. Not to mention minerals (gold / silver).And in case you missed it, Uber and Lyft survived Prop 22, confirming that people want to make sure DoorDash survives rather than give the wretched poor a break.
Well, here we are! It looks like a narrow contested Biden victory. We have three tumultuous months until the “swearing in” on January 20th 2021. What have we learned ? That, we are still a sharply divided nation that has voted for divided government. Feels like Americans are looking for middle ground, not radical change. We have also learned that a few swing states within a few swing counties determine federal elections. Proof that "local" still matters in the power game. Then again, who our next president is matters less, now that we are a entering a brave new world of central bank control that is becoming beyond the reach of our elected leaders. Don't miss this one.
1. The October Nonfarm Payrolls number was +638K vs. expectation of +570K. The October Unemployment Rate dropped to 6.9% from 7.9%. This was a good report overall and positive for the economy.2. Markets are stalling out today. Small declines across the board. Market has had a huge rally the past 4 days. The S&P has gone from 3250 -3500. How long can it go on for. Could go on to Thanksgiving or Christmas. Favorable seasonality trends. Have to beat October highs and September high - major top at 3588. October was 3550. Market loves that power will be split. Into next year, depends upon who is in office. Election will go to the Supreme Court. Working on 2021. 3. Gold and silver. Gold was on fire yesterday and is holding up well. Great action for gold miners too. Still in that sideways pattern. Silver was also on fire. Up another 1.8%. $26 dollar level is where it will stall out a bit. Went from slightly below 23 to nearly 26 this week.

Debbie Weil brings Frank Weil, her almost 90-year-old father, back on the podcast to give us his perspective on the 2020 presidential election, even as votes are still being counted. Her Dad is a prolific blogger at FAWideas.com, where he regularly offers his thoughts on Democratic politics, including cogent tirades about Donald Trump whom he regards as incompetent, amoral, and dangerous.So who else to make better sense of this nail-biting week than her Dad? He lives in Washington DC with her mother, Denie Weil; they’ve been married almost 70 years. In the late 1970s, Frank was an Assistant Secretary in the Dept. of Commerce under Jimmy Carter. In the decades since, as well as before, he has been deeply involved in Democratic politics. He’s been an informal advisor to Presidential candidates, including Barack Obama. And he always has an opinion. Plenty of them. They recorded the conversation you’re about to hear in the early afternoon of November 4th. The frustration of the previous night was starting to give way to patience as key swing states and counties continued to count votes. At the time they recorded, there was general agreement that Joe Biden would prevail, narrowly, and become the 46th President of the U.S.Frank says this is the most extraordinary election of his lifetime, both in terms of nail-biting outcome but also in view of the massive turnout and unusual process of early voting and mail-in ballots.He tells us that his frustration of the past weeks and months has turned into “inspiration” as he ponders the fact that a divided government might be a good thing, because it will force Washington to compromise and therefore better represent the people. He and Debbie take a brief walk down memory lane for some of the most memorable elections of his lifetime, the first being FDR’s unprecedented third election in 1940 with Henry Wallace as his running mate, when Frank was nine years old. When Debbie was nine, she remembers waking up with excitement the morning after Kennedy was elected in 1960.There are a few things Debbie and Frank didn’t get around to specifically discussing, including the record turnout, the highest in a century. And they didn’t have enough time to go deeply into examining the divide in this country, between rural and urban, educated and less educated, and the belief in astonishingly opposing narratives.You can’t help but sense this man's optimism, despite this difficult year and despite the real difficulties that lie ahead as we try to unite a deeply divided nation. He lets us go with a word of wisdom on the importance of collaboration even with those you don’t agree with.

With the Republicans set to take the Senate and the Democrats already having the House, Matt Gertken, vice president of Geopolitical Strategy of BCA Research anticipates a divided government that is likely to result in no tax increases but potentially smaller, and delayed fiscal stimulus.
In part two of our special election episode, we look at the policies that could potentially come out of divided party control among the White House, Senate and House, and how they might impact markets.
Today is special. Today I will discuss our common ground through our first amendment of the Bill of Rights. Today is also special because I have the opportunity to feature an excerpt from Writer, Director, and Choreographer Tony Spinsoa's new musical, Singing Revolution.'Singing Revolution' is a contemporary musical with a Europop score. It’s the story of Taavi Tamm, the leader of a resistance movement, who falls in love with the daughter of his enemy. Inspired by the real history of the Estonian revolution against the Soviet Union, our hero leads his fellow countrymen to freedom through the power of song. 'Singing Revolution' parallels our current times and a reminder that the power of peaceful resistance can change the world.Here is a link for you to see the full video:https://youtu.be/QRtCw7POWOc Thank you for joining me today.

FILE (AP Photo/Chuck Burton) This week on Carolina Curious, we take a look at what makes the Tar Heel state so purple. Listener Kennette Thomas asks: “Why is it that historically it seems as if North Carolinians will often elect a Democrat for the position of governor but then elect a majority Republican house?” Catawba College political scientist Michael Bitzer tells WFDD’s David Ford it’s a classic case of “divided government.” Interview Highlights On divided elections: South Carolina is a very Republican state. And so, you're going to have the Republicans control the legislature and governor's mansion. That’s unified party government. North Carolina has typically tended to see very divided elections. In 2000 and 2004, for example, George W. Bush won this state, but then a Democrat, Mike Easley, won the governorship. And there we're talking about ticket-splitting voters willing to vote for one party at one level of political office and then another party for another level. Now, here in North Carolina, it's been since 2010 that the Republicans have been able to control the state legislature through gerrymandering. So, a lot of us would look at that and say the maps for the legislature are very much pro-Republican. But in most recent times, particularly with Roy Cooper's election in 2016, a Democrat was elected to the governorship. So, North Carolina has kind of what I would almost term a bipolar political habit in terms of being very willing to vote for the individuals at times rather than the political parties. But over recent elections, we've been seeing that party loyalty really tightened up, and I think we’re in a new North Carolina. Is North Carolina still considered a purple state? I think it still applies to North Carolina. I think we will see the statewide races really decided probably by less than five percentage points. Remember that Barack Obama in 2008 won with less than half a percentage point. Mitt Romney in 2012 won by two percentage points. And Donald Trump won with about three and a half percent. So, if any statewide official wins with more than I would say five percentage points, that's almost considered a landslide. And I think North Carolina is kind of indicative of some national trends. We're a very competitive state when you talk about the statewide races. When you get down into the congressional level and the state legislative level and the districts, that's much more of, well, one party is going to control a district over another party. On the history of North Carolina politics: If you go back to the beginning of the 20th century, it was solid Democratic control and that was part of the solid Democratic South. By the time you get to the late 1960s, early 1970s, the Republican Party begins to become very competitive. North Carolina elects Holshouser as the first Republican governor since Reconstruction. And so, we enter a kind of competitiveness in North Carolina from the 1970s up through the 2000s, where North Carolina would vote Republican at the presidential level, but Democratic particularly at the gubernatorial level. By 2008 and 2010's elections, I really look at those elections as kind of being the new North Carolina. It's competitive. Races are decided by very few percentage points, and this is just, I think, the norm for us moving forward in North Carolina politics. EDITOR'S NOTE: This transcript was lightly edited for clarity.

Finding political common ground in North Carolina is an art, and Gov. Roy Cooper (D)—now in his third year as the state’s chief executive—is working his brushstrokes. Whether it’s prioritizing Medicaid expansion statewide, changing the way the state is addressing its growing opioid crisis, or blocking repeated attempts at banning abortion, Gov. Cooper is increasingly finding consensus. Perhaps his greatest feat, however, is remaining diplomatic on North Carolina’s many college basketball allegiances; we can’t say the same about Daniella.
The era of accommodation on Capitol Hill is over, as President Trump faces an increasingly adversarial Congress — in both parties.

On this issue of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Dr. Clarence Lusane, an African American author, activist, lecturer and chair of the political science department at Howard University.We now have a divided government. The House controlled by Democrats, Senate and Executive Branch controlled by Republicans. Do you see legislative movement on the horizon? If so, what does this mean? Will these ethnic caucuses be relevant? Is the diversity quantitative vs. qualitative? I find it interesting, in the Rules Package that Speaker Pelosi has put forth, there's an AUSTERITY PROVISION OVER OBJECTIONS OF PROGRESSIVES. Pelosi has promised for months to restore the pay-go rule, which she instituted when first taking over the speaker's gavel in 2007. She ran into resistance from progressives, who believe that the rule would make it more difficult for Democrats to pass a host of liberal agenda items, from “Medicare for All” to a Green New Deal to tuition-free public college. Critics also argue that pay-go creates an unlevel playing field, where Republicans get to blow giant holes in the tax code, as they did with the 2017 tax cuts, while Democrats must pay fealty to the deficit.In today's New York Times there's a story entitled Sexism Claims From Bernie Sanders's 2016 Run: Paid Less, Treated Worse. In today's Washington Post there's a story entitled, Can Romney chart a course that has eluded other GOP critics of Trump? In our production meeting today we had this conversation, is mainstream media trying to fan the flames of intra-party conflict? The Sander's article opens with “In February 2016, Giulianna Di Lauro, a Latino outreach strategist for Senator Bernie Sanders's presidential operation, complained to her supervisor that she had been harassed by a campaign surrogate whom she drove to events ahead of the Democratic primary in Nevada… When she reported the incident to Bill Velazquez, a manager on the Latino outreach team, he told her, “I bet you would have liked it if he were younger,” according to her account and another woman who witnessed the exchange. Then he laughed.” In an interview Wednesday night on CNN, Mr. Sanders said he was proud of his 2016 campaign and attributed any missteps with staff members to the explosive growth that was sometimes overwhelming. “I'm not going to sit here and tell you that we did everything right, in terms of human resources,” he told Anderson Cooper.“I certainly apologize to any woman who felt she was not treated appropriately, and of course if I run we will do better the next time,” he said. Asked if he knew about the staff complaints, he said, “I was a little bit busy running around the country trying to make the case.”Now, on the Romney side, 2 days ago Romney wrote, “The president shapes the public character of the nation. Trump's character falls short.” What did Romney say in this piece that we don't know? Basically, “It is not that all of the president's policies have been misguided. He was right to align U.S. corporate taxes with those of global competitors, to strip out excessive regulations, to crack down on China's unfair trade practices, to reform criminal justice and to appoint conservative judges. These are policies mainstream Republicans have promoted for years. But policies and appointments are only a part of a presidency.” So, I read this to say, it's style over substance. Romney is the poster child for political opportunist. The article set off Washington's nonstop speculative machinery, with the conversation quickly pivoting to whether Romney might possibly challenge Trump for the GOP nomination in 2020 or make one more likely. The 2012 nominee tried to put to rest his intentions: “No, I'm not running again,” he told CNN's Jake Tapper, noting that his previous run did not end well, in contrast, he said, to Trump's victory in 2016.Chinese lunar rover landed on the dark side of the moon at 10:26 am on Thursday, Beijing time, marking the start of the first exploration of a place that cannot be seen from Earth. What does this mean geo-politically? Has China just sent a message to the US. Houston, do we have a problem?For those who may not know, unlike the near side of the moon that always faces the earth and offers many flat areas to touch down on, the far side, or dark side, is mountainous, rugged and posed until now a problem with communicating. This portion of the moon has never been reached by a man-made probe before. Beijing has been pouring billions into its lofty space program, whose technologies can easily be tapped by the Chinese military. Key goals include catapulting a permanent space station into orbit by 2022 and eventually sending men to the moon. Chris, am I overstating this when I say, Houston, do we have a problem? As the US and scientists from all over the world celebrated the New Horizons spacecraft sent back a photo of MU69, or “Ultima Thule” a billion miles past Pluto. The Chinese get to the dark side of the moon. What are the areas or technologies that surprise you about this?

On the 12th day of the government shutdown, the Democratic congressional leaders went to the White House and proposed that the president reopen the government while the two sides ironed out differences on funding for a border wall. A couple of hours after that meeting, we spoke with Senator Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, about his newly emboldened approach and how he and Ms. Pelosi plan to stick together in a divided Washington. Guest: Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate minority leader. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

We are heading into divided party government in Washington after an unproductive unified Republican period. Will a Democratic House bring even less productivity and more government shutdowns? We use the history of Congress and US state governments for an updated look at what party divisions between the legislative and executive branches bring us in terms of policy output. Patricia Kirkland finds that divided government at the state level increases the chance of budget delays that can lead to shutdowns. But she says some states are perennially late and others that face disastrous outcomes for impasse do get their work done. Benjamin Schneer finds that divided government historically does reduce the number of major landmark laws passed by Congress, but only by a few each term. There are also huge differences across time and presidencies, regardless of partisanship. But both confirm the conventional wisdom that divided government will not help improve our governance.

Diane talks with The New Yorker's Susan Glasser.
One of the most-hyped Midterm elections in memory came to a close on Tuesday, and NAHU's Marcy M. Buckner, John Greene and Chris Hartmann analyze the results and what they could mean for healthcare and NAHU's issues. Marcy, John and Chris look at the outsized role that healthcare played this year, far outpacing the perennial top issue of the economy in voters' preferences for candidates, and how it could have major consequences for the legislative agenda over the next two years. They look at how single-payer candidates fared and the prospects for that issue going forward, the key issues in the Lame Duck session, how NAHU's legislative priorities could fare in the new Congress as we seek new champions on our issues, and how you can join us in our efforts through HUPAC and meeting with your legislators to help spread the message on the value of agents and brokers and the private health insurance market.

RATE AND REVIEW this podcast on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/PeterSchiff/reviews/ Relief Rally Post-Midterms The elections are over and the Blue Wave was averted and the Dow Jones rose 545 points today to celebrate that fact and the NASDAQ was up 194 points, 2.64%; Russell 2000 up 26 points, about 1.67% . Now you may be wondering why there was such a big rise in the stock market based on an outcome that was pretty much expected. The Republicans lost the House of Representatives, and that was something that was widely anticipated by the markets. But the loss wasn't that big; they lost 26 seats. I think 23 was the number that the Democrats had to pick up. But I think there was some concern that the Republicans may have lost the Senate - instead they actually picked up, I think 3 seats as of now, in the Senate - increasing their margin. This is only the third time in 100 years where that's happened, where you've had the incumbent party lose House seats but gain Senate seats. Obama's Midterm House Loss: 63 Seats But it is amazing that the press was trying to hold this out as some kind of repudiation of his policies: "You lost the House of Representatives". Big deal! Obama lost the house of Representatives during his first midterms in 2010. That was one of the biggest disasters for an incumbent since Roosevelt. Obama lost 63 house seats. Not 26 - remember the Tea Party? That was all 2010. Trump did so much better than Obama. In fact, the average loss for a midterm in the House is 37 seats. Trump's loss of 26 was much better than average, but you wouldn't know that from listening to the Media. But most impressive was the 3 seats gained in the Senate. Barack Obama lost 6 seats during his first midterm elections. That's a 9-seat difference between what Trump was able to accomplish and Obama's accomplishment. Economy-Stimulating Tax Cuts Less Likely I think the reason that the dollar was weaker is the narrative is that since the Republicans no longer have control of the House of Representatives that it is less likely that we will get more tax cuts - at least the tax cuts that would be stimulative to the economy.
Come January, Democrats will control the House while Republicans will control the Senate and the White House. So at least two years of divided government are expected. Two million federal employees watched this week's elections, wondering what it would mean for them. Federal employment and dispute attorney Lynne Bernabei joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to talk about some possibilities.
Congressman Guthrie talked about his expectations from a divided House and Senate and whether or not Nancy Pelosi will focus on investigating the President or actually get things done for America. He also discussed a possible tactical error by Republicans focusing on the caravan instead of the economy and his desire to fix the healthcare system in America.Listen to his call here…
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reacted to a “good Election Day” for Republicans in the Senate and in the Commonwealth. He also discussed President Trump “tweaking” Nancy Pelosi, solving the healthcare issue in a divided government, investigating the President being bad political policy for the Democrats, and resignation of Jeff Sessions. Listen to the Senator’s call here…

Why did conservative Marsha Blackburn triumph in the Tennessee senate race, and why did incumbent Rep. Dave Brat struggle in his race for a third term in the House? Tuesday's night results made clear that Republicans would retain the Senate, but lose the House, and we're here to examine what happened. Rachel del Guidice joins us from the ground on Tennessee, and Fred Lucas from Brat's Virginia district to share what they learned from voters and experts over the course of their reporting. Plus: We talk about how well celebrity endorsements panned out this cycle.We also cover these stories:--The election results were bad news for progressives, with major candidates like Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum and Texas Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke losing to Republicans.--Did the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings have an effect on the races? The one Democrat senator who voted for Kavanaugh won re-election, while three Democrats who didn't lost their Senate races.--In Florida, voters approved an amendment to their state constitution that restores voting rights to some felons.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

JOIN PETER at the New Orleans Investment Conference https://neworleansconference.com/conference-schedule/ Divided Government is Good? If the Democrats get control of Congress, which is a likely occurrence, what I'm hearing now is that this is bullish for the stock market! The stock market bulls are saying that if we have divided government that this is historically positive for the markets. So even if the Republicans lose control of the House, and maybe even the Senate, it's OK, because it's divided government and that is good. Hoping for More Deregulation This is a bunch of nonsense. Has divided government historically been a positive? I think so, in that when you have a divided government you are less likely to make progress in legislation and since most legislation is harmful, the less legislation you get is better. But in the situation we have now, the hope is that we will have deregulation. That the progress that Trump will make will be in removing regulation. Obviously if the Democrats take control of Congress, if you were hoping for more deregulation then your divided government will put a stop to that. So if divided government keeps government from getting smaller then it is not a good thing. If divided government stops the government from getting bigger, then maybe you could say it is positive. Building an Entire Stock Market Rally on Trump's Agenda But if you have built an entire stock market rally off of the supposed success of Donald Trump and his agenda, and his ability to get his agenda through Congress, that ability is going to be substantially curtailed, if not completely eliminated if the Democrats control Congress. Nothing that Trump wants to do will get through Congress so if you've been betting that it would, then the Republicans losing control of Congress is definitely a bad thing. Not The Contract with America This is not Newt Gingrich and The Contract with America, when Republican control of Congress forced Bill Clinton to move to the right and maybe stopped some of his big government agenda that would have gotten through a Democratic Congress. When you had the Republican Congress putting a brake on Clinton's agenda, moving the nation more to the center, yes, that was a positive for the markets. We Don't Want to Even Fathom a Negative Influence on the Stock Market But why would losing a business-friendly Republican Congress to the Democrats, to Socialist Democrats, why is that bullish for stocks? How could you possibly think that is bullish for stocks if you think what we have now is bullish, and we lose a chunk of that, that just shows you that it doesn't matter what happens, these analysts are always going to say it's bullish. No matter what happens, it's bullish for stocks, because stocks are going up. We don't want to even fathom the possibility that anything happening would be negative for stocks.
