There IS a history to this…
Both Bill Clinton and Obama had Republican House majorities dropped on them in the second half of their first terms…..
Both got re-elected of course….
The direction the current VERY THIN Republican House people seem to be dragged by only 20 or so of their members IS NOT at ALL popular with most of the countries voters for 2024….
And?
The media is reporting ALL sorts of threats launched against President Biden , His son and the Democratic agenda
Hmmmm?
Joe Biden the ‘get along’ guy is in for a bumpy and tough ride….
But?
It WOULD appear that Republicans themselves may help him along with their intransigence…..
Democrats think President Biden can get a boost from the House GOP, just as his party’s past presidents saw their political fortunes rise by virtue of battling a Republican Congress.
Both former Presidents Clinton and Obama won reelection after losing their party’s House majorities to the GOP in 1994 and 2010.
Now the White House is hoping Biden can follow that pattern, and they see an unwilling partner in the House GOP led by Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who won the post after a historic 15th ballot that laid his conference’s divisions out for all to see.
“If they’re collapsing and fighting and can’t get anything done, it speaks for itself,” said Ed Rendell, a former Pennsylvania governor and longtime Biden ally.
Rendell also argued that some of the positions taken by House Republicans, especially if they lead to a government shutdown or the failure of Congress to raise the debt ceiling, could help Biden cast himself as the adult in Washington.
“Americans are not extreme,” Rendell said…..
