Following the 1994 midterm elections, Republicans in Congress BELIEVED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANTED THEM TO MAKE CHANGES.
In the 1994 midterm elections, Republicans had campaigned on the promise of a "Contract with America." Newt Gingrich and Richard Armey wrote the document and spearheaded the campaign to take control of Congress back for the Republican Party. (Republicans had not had a majority in the House of Representatives for 40 years.) The Republicans picked up 54 seats in the House of Representatives in the 1994 midterm election, as well as gaining 9 seats in the Senate, to become the majority party in Congress. So they believed they should carry out their "Contract with America" to make changes.
Okinawa was one of the most heavily fortified and strategically located islands in the the island-hopping campaign. The Americans planned to use Okinawa as a launching base for air attacks and eventually an invasion into the larger islands of Japan. For these reasons, it made sense to make it the final island in the island-hopping campaign, after which the campaign would shift into an invasion into the heart of Japan.
This larger-scale invasion never occurred, however, as Truman elected to end the war by dropping two atomic bombs on Japan, rather than lose many more men and resources in a long and bloody invasion.
