Even Republicans admit they don't know how to run the House

As if Americans need another reminder that the GOP majority is a disaster when it comes to running the House of Representatives, the recent negotiations over a government spending bill showed their utter dysfunction—again.

“It’s highly disappointing that, after two years in the majority, we have virtually nothing to show the American people in return for them trusting us with the majority,” said Rep. Bob Good of Virginia in an interview with NOTUS. “In other words, every significant piece of legislation that’s become law has been passed with predominant Democrat votes in the House.”

The party famous for its “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” ethos is shockingly good at avoiding any actual work. Instead, House Republicans are busy eating their own and proving they suck at governing. 

As the 118th Congress’ second (and final) session comes to a close, House Speaker Mike Johnson is navigating tricky waters. Tension between the far-right faction and more moderate Republicans surfaced once again as they grappled with funding allocations, the specter of a government shutdown, and GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s continuous meddling.
