House Democrats aren’t looking forward to the chaos of the 119th Congress. But they see an upside.
Democratic lawmakers predicted that the division within the GOP, which was on full display during Friday’s speaker’s vote, will force Speaker Mike Johnson to turn to Democrats more in the future.
Republicans “are going to continue to have difficulties that emanate from philosophical differences within their ranks,” Rep. Al Green told NOTUS. “They’re not going to be easily dealt with. That means the ideal thing for them is going to be to do what they do often when they can’t get the votes for themselves, and that’s negotiate with Democrats.”
