New GOP in House of Representatives expected to make good on threats to hold president to account for various alleged misdeeds
, investigating Joe Biden is about keeping their promises. The party told their voters they’d hold his administration to account, and intend to use the House’s investigative abilities – which include subpoena power – to do so.
Such inquiries are one of Congress’s core functions, and also one of the things the Republicans can do alone, since any legislation they muscle through with their slim majority in the House can be ignored by the Democratic-controlled Senate. The House is scheduled to take up legislative business today from 12pm eastern time, and by the afternoon will vote to set up two committees.
The first will be the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.
