Democrats’ victory in the House of Representatives has served as somewhat of a political gamechanger in Washington. Republicans previously maintained control of both the House and Senate.
More on “Finding Common Ground”
Despite Pelosi’s talks of common ground, there are multiple indicators that everything may not run smoothly with the newly Democrat-controlled House. For starters, the House Minority Leader recently affirmed that gun control will serve as a policy which Democrats will push for in 2019. This is unlikely to fare well with a Republican-controlled Senate and pro-Second Amendment commander-in-chief.
Ultimately, time will tell as to whether or not House Democrats are able to find common ground with their Republican colleagues. Legislators are scheduled to return to Congress this week, following the Democrats’ House victory.
