Republican Rep Jim Banks (IN) snapped at the current flurry of defeatists failing to see the bigger picture. Banks says the GOP has enough of a base to gain ground to defeat the Biden agenda. So far there has been zero oversite to the Biden agenda and Banks says that the GOP needs to get into gear because they are ‘the last line of defense’.

Banks made the remarks during an interview on “Fox News Sunday” regarding his expectation that Republicans would win a slim House majority and must work together to defeat the Left’s policies over the next two years.

“Republicans will win the majority,” he said. “It will be a very slim majority, but we have an opportunity over the next two years to be the last line of defense to block the Biden agenda, and if we do that effectively and pass legislation that addresses the issues that the American people care about, bringing down inflation and gas prices, the border, the drug crisis in America, and the national security issues that keep America safe, I believe we can grow this slim majority into a much more healthier majority in the 2024 election.”

Banks noted the difficulty in passing legislation with the Senate under the Left’s control, emphasizing that the GOP has a duty to reduce costs for Americans.

“We have a responsibility to do that. Take inflation for example and energy production. Republicans said all along our top priority will be to make America energy independent again,” he added. “And I think we can do that in a way, putting bills on the floor with consensus among Republicans and a Republican plan to do that I would hope Democrats would come along and vote for too.”

The congressman’s words come as neither party has definitively won the House. Republicans are currently projected to win 211 of the 218 seats needed to form a majority.

Watch:

Both sides were disappointed following the massive voter split this midterm but ket states are still counting with at least one, Georgia, holding a run-off race in December. I agree with Banks, no matter what happens over the next few weeks, it’s going to be a dogfight for lawmakers on both sides—Now is not the time to wimp out.
