“Republicans won enough seats during midterm elections to capture a slim majority in the House, but their ability to advance their agenda will face both practical and ideological challenges tied to such a historically small margin,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“With little wiggle room, party leaders will need the support of nearly every Republican to propel partisan legislation, giving each member more leverage to alter or block proposals. The slim majority could complicate leaders’ efforts to reach deals on ‘must pass’ bills funding the government, addressing the debt limit or setting farm and military policies in cooperation with the Democratic-controlled Senate.”
