GOP Clinches House Majority, Closed Gaetz at DOJ? Casey Wants to Count Ballots from Unregistered Voters

Join Jim and Greg as they delve into the GOP’s projected control of the House of Representatives, why Matt Gaetz is the wrong choice for Attorney General, and Sen. Bob Casey’s far-fetched push to count ballots from unregistered voters.

First, Jim and Greg discuss the now-confirmed GOP majority in the House of Representatives in the next Congress. All major networks project Republican control, and Rep. Mike Johnson seems to have a clear path to another term as Speaker of the House. Jim highlights how this solid footing is not only promising for the GOP’s legislative plans but also dispels rumors that Johnson is about to face an internal party revolt.

After a positive review of most Trump cabinet picks, Jim and Greg criticize the choice of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. They agree that reforming the Justice Department and FBI is crucial but they also contend there are people who would be far better at that job and would not come with the enormous baggage that Gaetz brings with him.

Finally, they call out Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. for his recount efforts in Pennsylvania despite trailing by more than 26,000 votes. Even worse, Casey's legal team is asking the courts to count ballots cast by unregistered voters. Casey's refusal to accept reality is an embarrassment and it also erodes the narrative that Democrats are supposedly the guardians of our democracy. Jim and Greg also discuss middle-of-the-night ballot dumps and much more.
