GOP narrowly wins House control, teeing up battles with Biden and within the new majority
The battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives took more than a week to be called. Republicans had projected confidence before last week’s election of a “red wave” that would yield them at least a dozen more House seats. Americans are ready for a new direction, and House Republicans are ready to deliver,” House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy said on Twitter soon after his party clinched control of the chamber. GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, one of the House’s staunchest Trump allies, blasted McCarthy on Twitter last week, saying he represented “FLIGHT over FIGHT when the chips are down” and that “he is not a Speaker for these times.” McCarthy cleared the first hurdle for the job on Tuesday after House Republicans resoundingly voted for him to be nominated speaker. “In the next Congress, House Democrats will continue to play a leading role in supporting President Biden’s agenda — with strong leverage over a scant Republican majority.” Republicans had reason for high hopes for most of this election cycle.
