Despite President Joe Biden’s fear tactics about the future of democracy, the results of the 2022 midterm election make one thing clear: the United States of America is a patriotic country that’s grounded in liberty -- but more divided than ever. 

Voters were fed up enough with Biden’s reckless agenda -- that single-handedly created an inflation crisis, crime crisis, and border crisis in less than two years -- to give House Republicans the inside track on recapturing the majority in the U.S. House. 

The new GOP majority in the House will be a slim one, probably similar in number to the Democrat majority currently held by outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. 

Congressional Republicans certainly built on their success from the 2020 campaign when they picked up 14 seats, just not in the dramatic fashion that some were predicting. Now is a good time for the GOP to have a frank conversation about leadership and commit to refocus on important issues that energize voters.
