The 116th Congress, which opened on Wednesday, is the most diverse in American history.
It contains the following in the House of Representatives, “the people’s branch”:
102 women
52 African Americans
39 Hispanic-Latino Americans
20 Asian Americans
34 Jewish Americans
2 Native Americans
2 Muslim Americans
Most of these groups are Democrats, with only a scattering of Republicans among them.
So we have a very diverse Democratic Party, and a heavily white Christian male Republican Party.
The future is in the hands of the Democrats long term, and if the Republican Party does not become more diverse and back away from the cancer of Donald Trump, the party of Lincoln, TR, Ike, Reagan, and Bush will end up in the dustbin of history, to be replaced by a moderate conservative party under a different banner and agenda.
