“There’s going to be a red wave election. And I can’t wait. I can’t wait to get back to doing things the way they’re supposed to be done,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said on Sunday.

“And make no mistake” Lee told Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo, “if we as Republicans are given another chance to control both houses of Congress, we understand that we will be on a short leash. We understand that things can’t be business as usual. We have got to undertake this effort to combat inflation seriously, aggressively, and by reining in federal spending and reining in excesses and abuses of government that have been going on for far too long.”

Lee listed his priorities as follows: “I think it’s imperative that Republicans come together around spending reform, around regulatory reform, and on aggressive oversight for the next two years.”
