A victory at the end of the suspense. President Joe Biden on Saturday congratulated Republican Kevin McCarthy on his election to the House of Representatives and called on him to “rule responsibly and in the interest of the American people.”
“I am willing to work with Republicans whenever possible, and the voters have made it clear that they expect Republicans to be willing to work with me as well,” he said in a statement. It is time to govern responsibly,” he added.
By force of negotiations, the group of Trumpists that paralyzed the nomination of the fifty-year-old from California finally gave in. They ended a mess in Congress, unprecedented in more than 160 years, that heralds highly charged debates in the US Congress for the next two years. But not without one last final ditch.
Without controlling both chambers – as has been the case since his January 2021 inauguration, albeit with a slim majority in the Senate – Joe Biden can no longer hope to pass major legislation.
