Voters just denied the Left a mandate

The final results of the 2020 election may not be known for days or even weeks. But one thing is clear — it was a defeat of the far Left.

Those who want to change the United States fundamentally and radically to advance left-wing priorities had a pretty clear goal for this election. They wanted Joe Biden to be elected in a landslide, with many Democrats riding on his coattails to expand their House majority and gain solid control of the Senate. Once in power, activists would claim a mandate for their ideas and push Biden in a more liberal direction as they push to abolish the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court.
