Divided government allows for compromise on important policy.

At the same time, there is hope for divided government in the Senate. There are a large number of both Democratic and Republican Senators that have proven that they are willing to work together to do the business of the nation. There are opportunities in this new Congress to work with the Administration to legislate on a few critical issues: immigration reform, controlling crime, restoring a budget process that promotes fiscal discipline as part of the answer to inflation, passing a farm bill that increases food supplies for the world, and strengthening our defense forces and our support for Ukraine. If a majority of responsible Republican and Democratic members on the House side are willing to be part of these efforts, they have the votes to isolate the extremist and pass bipartisan legislation.
