RUFUS - On the tail end of the 2024 Jesstopian Presidential Elections which was held on November 16, 2024, Republicans who just gained the Nationalist House, immediately shifted focus on pushing campaigns harder for Republicans looking to be reelected or elected to their first terms, as the push to ensure that President-Elect Jay Laylin has a Senate majority for the remainder of his presidency.

The Senate and House will be controlled by the Nationalist Party, until elections are held next year between June and November, and Republicans are trying to cash in on Jay Laylin's unprecedented victory, defeating the Nationalist Party after its more than two centuries in power. They hope that his presidential victory will help them win both chambers of Congress, but are focused on ensuring at least one house goes to the Republicans.

"It is very important that Jay Laylin has a Senate that will be able to quickly confirm cabinet, court and other appointments made by the President," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Rodham. "We must ensure that he will be able to effectively governor our great nation without much struggle that he will face during his first year in office."

"It is heavily important that we win one of the two chambers of Congress, regardless if we win one or both, because Jay Laylin's success as the next President rides on it," continued Rodham. "We need to show the Nationalists that they work for the people and must do their jobs in order to hold their offices. For far to long, Republicans were one step behind the Nationalist party, falling short of any major Senate and House leadership victories, but now there is truly a fighting chance to win one or both chambers, but it will take work, and time. We must get out there and vote again next year to turn the Senate and hopefully the House red."

Republicans have been the so called "back benchers" for over 200 years, winning high level state offices, but falling short in controlling the House, Senate and Nationalist House, and other federal offices. Jay Laylin's victory during the 2024 Jesstopia Presidential Election, signals a significant shift in political positions for both the Nationalists and the Republicans alike. It is showing that the people of the United States Of Jesstopia, are not happy with Nationalist "rule", and that they want change and can no longer afford to live under Nationalists. Many experts believe that Laylin will be the much needed financial break that has been impossible since Nationalists controlled the country.
