Sam Brown

So for the last two years, we've had a Republican majority in both the House and the Senate, which refused to do anything critical of the Trump administration.

And only were their ability to peel off two or three Republican senators were they able to pass in the House and in the Senate, and also by getting support from a few Republicans in the Senate and the House to be able to pass, excuse me, these resolutions which were limiting the War Powers Act.

The Congress doesn't have a lot of power except over the PERS, the ability to withhold funding for projects as a way of doing that and investigating.

And so it's going to be more political pressure on Trump, questioning his policies.

So I think he's going to be weakened in that regard.

And this defeat was overwhelming, and the Republicans didn't know that.

Just to give you another element of this, every state in which there was two Republican senators and now one of the two senators is Democrat, The other senator is going to be up for election either in two years or four years and is thinking, man, this other person just got elected in my state, which never elects Democrats.

I'm vulnerable in two years.

She did not.

So he began to tell her And she found the story of Jesus as inspiring as the story of Sam Brown.

And so she gave her heart to Christ.

And Sam gave his heart to her.

know, it wasn't a great night for other Republicans.

I mean, some of that was on Sam Brown running for us Senate because of how he ran his race, but you know, the Democrats maintain their, their house seats.

They maintained a large majority in the state legislature.

And so, you know, part of that is a reflection of how the Democrats have gerrymandered the state.

Are we playing God with these candidates? Are we saying that these candidates are too flawed to get a Republican to vote for them? You know that that has happened before, don't you? If you say that I am not giving it to you straight, you need to go back and look at the elections in the state of Nevada.

Sam Brown lost to Jackie Rosen.

Adam Laxalt lost to Catherine Cortez Masto.

And everybody screamed.

We've seen that with some Republican nominees in the past.

Um, I think in 2020, um, for Sam Brown was running in Nevada, and he, you know, tried to distance himself from Trump a little bit, and he ended up losing because so many Trump voters, um, pulled, you know, none of the above, which L- which Nevada has as an option.

Um, so it's a tricky line to thread.

I think, you know, it's, it, it's a tough year for any Republican in Minnesota.
