A new Congress takes over in Washington. Republicans will control the House, while the Democrats will control the Senate. So why does that matter? How will things be different?
WASHINGTON — A new Congress takes over in Washington. Republicans will control the House, while the Democrats will control the Senate.The new Congress will undoubtedly be full of more uncertainty, at least in the beginning.He has led Republicans in the House since 2019 and wants to succeed Rep. Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.Why are 218 votes hard to get — especially since Republicans have taken back control of Congress?There is one vacancy. No Democrats are expected to back McCarthy.
If you are wondering: Why does this job matter? It is second-in-line to the presidency, and the job dictates what bills can come up for a vote in the House.While the leadership in Congress is a bit uncertain right now, what is certain is that this will be the most diverse legislative body in American history.One hundred twenty-four women will serve in the House — a record too.27 Black women will serve in the House is also a record.
While the new Congress will be more diverse, it's unclear how productive they will be as they get set to begin. With Republicans controlling the House and Democrats controlling the Senate, more gridlock is anticipated.Republicans have vowed to hold President Biden more accountable over his family's business dealings and his policies at the southern border.
