Wisconsin Republican Previews House GOP Agenda

President Biden argued in the run-up to Tuesday’s midterm elections that “democracy is on the ballot.” But in the view of Representative Glenn Grothman (R., Wis.), one of a number of GOP congressmen poised to assume a key oversight role should his party win control of the House on Election Day, the nation’s character is what’s actually on the line.

In an interview with National Review, the Wisconsin Republican claimed that the Democrats want to “remake America” and painted a dire picture of what will happen if Republicans fail to retake at least one chamber of Congress. “They want to fundamentally change the United States into a place where parents are powerless, the government is ginormous, the border is open, and corruption runs wild,” Grothman said. “That’s not who we are.”
