What would Republicans do with a majority in the House of Representatives? – The Economist

Category: Republicans

House Republicans have launched their legislative agenda for the next Congress. The Commitment to America is fairly brief, pretty unspecific, and filled with standard Republican platitudes around tax cuts and curbing wasteful spending. Kevin McCarthy, who will probably be Speaker if his party wins, calls it a new direction for America. What would Republicans do with control of the House?

We dissect whats in the Commitment to America, and look at its famous predecessor. Representative James Comer, who will likely chair the House Oversight Committee if Republicans win, explains what he plans to do in the role.

John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon.
