It’s been just over a month since Republicans took control of the House and have begun to usher in a new era of rules and legislative priorities.
GOP lawmakers had high hopes to hit the ground running and quickly start voting on new bills to advance their agenda. But after a dragged out leadership election and subsequent intraparty disagreements on certain policy proposals, Republicans have managed to deliver only a handful of promises they made on the campaign trail.Days before the lawmakers were sworn in on Jan.
Just two days after lawmakers were sworn in to office, the House passed H.R. 11, “Establishing the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party,” on Jan. 9. The resolution passed the House with a 221-210 vote that was split along party lines. McCarthy praised the bill’s passage, lauding Republicans for their “promises made. Promises kept,” he said in a statement.
The resolution passed Congress with a 222-209 vote on Jan. 11, with three Democrats joining Republicans to back the measure.On the same day as the concurrent resolution, House Republicans also passed H.R. 26, “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.” The bill passed with a 331-97 vote and has since been introduced in the Senate where it awaits a vote.The House passed H.R. 21, “Strategic Production Response Act,” on Jan. 27 after lawmakers submitted more than 140 amendments to be considered before taking a vote.
Also awaiting action is Concurrent Resolution 5, which seeks to offer “sincere gratitude and appreciation” for law enforcement agencies and officers across the country.
