Rep. Jordan reveals GOP will ‘keep the senate’ and ‘a good chance’ it will ‘take back the house’

Listen to “Rep. Jim Jordan: I believe Amy Coney Barrett will be confirmed” on Spreaker.

The election will end with the Republican party maintaining its majority in the Senate and ‘actually a good chance’ of taking back control of the House, Rep. Jim Jordan, R- Ohio, told “The Sara Carter Show” Monday.

He said voters want someone who delivers and follows through with their promises. In that respect, President Donald Trump has not only has a strong base of support but independent voters who will back him come November.

One major issue concerning voters is whether Democratic candidate for president Joe Biden will pack the Supreme Court with additional justices, a policy he refuses to answer to. When asked by host Sara A. Carter about the mounting concern, Jordan expressed optimism that Republicans would have control over the executive branch and the legislature, keeping Democrats from pushing that agenda through in the first place.

“I think President Trump is going to win. I think we’re going to keep the senate I think there’s actually a good chance we take back the house. So I don’t think it’s going to happen,” Jordan explained.

He continued, “But if it would, would they do it? Of course, they would. That’s why they won’t answer the question. And the danger of this is first it’s been the precedent for 150 years, we’ve had nine justices on the United States Supreme Court, but if you expand it, you turn it into a super legislature.”

Court-packing, Jordan added, would make the Supreme Court, which is supposed to be an apolitical body, a “political entity” and “not a separate and equal branch of government that the founders envisioned when they set up this experiment they call America which has those checks and balances that federal system that protects your rights, protects your liberties, protects you from the rulesof the mob and everything else.”

Wow! Joe Biden says American voters "don’t deserve" to know his position on packing the Supreme Court. Make sure all of your friends and family see this. This shows a disgusting contempt for the intelligence of voters. Reminder Joe: Politicians work for US!pic.twitter.com/zjDK9roqVk

Last week, Biden said that American voters don’t deserve to know where he stands on court-packing, dismissing it as an issue only Republicans are concerned with. Republicans argue that he will move forward with the process if he wins the presidential election.

At a recent rally in Iowa, former President Donald Trump promised that if elected again in 2024, he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation of migrants who have illegally entered the United States. Since President Joe Biden took office in January of 2021, over 6 million people have illegally entered the country.

Republican Representative Andy Biggs from border state Arizona, which is among the states suffering the greatest consequences from the Biden administration policies, lamented that Trump’s suggestion will be “necessary.”

Speaking on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show, Biggs stated “[I]t’s actually gonna have to be necessary.” Biggs then added his thoughts on how many more people will continue to cross the border under Biden: “Because by the time Trump gets back in office, you will have had over 10 million, in my opinion, over 10 million illegal aliens cross our border and come into the country, under the Biden regime.”

“And so when you start deporting people, and removing them from this country, what that does is that disincentivizes the tens of thousands of people who are coming,” Biggs went on. “And by the way, everyday down in Darién Gap, which is in Panama… over 5,000 people a day. [I] talk[ed] to one of my sources from the gap today. And I will just tell you, those people that you’ve seen come come in to Eagle Pass, over 7,000 in a three day period, most of those two weeks ago, were down crossing into the Darién Gap.”

“And those people… make their way up and they end up in the Eagle Pass [Texas], Del Rio area,” he continued. “So if you want to disincentivize them, you remove them from the country, which is why they remain in Mexico policy was so doggone effective at slowing down illegal border crossings.”
