There is concern about the new Democratic majorities in Congress and the Supreme Court: will Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas hold out until Republicans can pick their replacements? As of now, the GOP has a chance to retake Congress in 2032.
It’ll take years to regain the ground lost unless there is appalling Democratic overreach in 2027, which could happen. Still, Alito, who likely hoped the GOP would retain the Senate this year as projected, will probably have to rethink his retirement plans.
