What will it mean for the Republicans to take control of the House even by a tiny margin? It can be summed up in one word. Subpoena.
They won’t be able to pass meaningful legislation, but they will take over all the committees and they’ll be in position to bedevil the Biden Administration with hearings and investigations into Joe Biden’s son Hunter, the president’s policies toward the border, American support for the war in Ukraine and many other sensitive subjects.
However, the Republican leader and likely speaker Kevin McCarthy has a very slim margin to work with and like previous GOP speakers John Boehner, Paul Ryan and even back to Newt Gingrich, he will be plagued by his hard right wing that is likely to make his life miserable.
Meanwhile Dems will be led by a new young and untested leadership team now that Nancy Pelosi, one of the great legislative strategists of her time, has stepped aside.
