American media: Republicans in control of the House of Representatives

The Republican party regained control of the House of Representatives yesterday Wednesday, after the long process of counting votes in the November 8 midterm elections, US media reported, noting that they now have the ability to block the implementation of Joe Biden’s program until 2024.

After failing to secure control of the Senate, the conservative faction will still only have a slim majority in the US House of Representatives, as the “giant red wave” that many of its executives, led by Donald Trump, had anticipated did not come.

In addition to being able to stop the implementation of Mr. Biden’s agenda, Republicans will also gain the ability to begin conducting various potentially politically bloody investigations into the administration and his family.

Newly-anointed speaker Kevin McCarthy may face challenges as he will need to discipline his fractious caucus in crucial upcoming votes, including on state and military funding, while Donald Trump, who has already begun yesterday Tuesday his campaign ahead of the 2024 presidential election, he will be watching closely.

The Democratic defeat in the lower House takes away some of the power of Mr. Biden, who has already expressed his willingness to work with Republicans by saying he is open to all “good ideas.” During a post-election press conference, however, he noted “the American people have made it clear, I think, that they expect the Republicans (…) to also show a willingness to cooperate.”
