House Republicans Can’t Agree on Legislative Agenda

“House Republicans, who risk losing control of their narrowly divided chamber in November, are scrambling to agree upon a legislative agenda for the remainder of the year that could unify their splintered conference and strengthen their standing with voters heading into the midterms,” the Washington Post reports.

“The GOP has yet to coalesce around specifics of a legislative package, and historically the president’s party loses seats in the midterms. Several recent developments, including economic fallout from Trump’s war with Iran, have only added to the headwinds Republicans face.”
