Right. Oh well. Was figuring on divided Congress at any rate. Salvage something from the prediction.
The market loves gridlock, so if Powell would just ease up on the throttle to allow the data to catch up... maybe there is still a chance at a "softer" landing. I feel for all those carrying debt right now. So glad the wife and I spent the last 3 years paying off about $70k in debt. Well, paying off $45k and moving the rest in a refi from 2019.

I'm wondering if DeSantis coming to power in 2 years could steer the GOP back to its original ideals and make the radicals lose favor among the voting public.

I never thought a red wave would happen, but they did underperform for sure. As mentioned above, I think the country might be getting tired of all the extremist talk.
DeSantis is going to have an interesting fight on his hands with The Donald. Guess we'll see just how much good will Trump has burned during his time in office, but more so with the failed smooth transition of power. One of the most important things for an outgoing POTUS to get right.
If Biden runs again, which I'm hearing mention of already... just give the office to whichever candidate the Republicans run. Including Trump. Hell, I'm an independent, and can not stand Trump... but I'd have to think long and hard about not voting for him if Biden is his opponent.
