Republican control of the House means that whatever Joe Biden has not done by the end of 2022 is unlikely to be achieved WorldAhead
By Idrees Kahloon: Washington bureau chief, The Economist, Washington, DCfirst two years of Joe Biden’s presidency has been consumed with trying to manufacture consensus among the squabbling legislators from his own party. In the next two years, that task will morph into something impossibly harder. In the midterm elections held on November 8th, Republicans won back control of the House of Representatives .
There is little reason to hope that Kevin McCarthy, the presumptive Republican successor to Nancy Pelosi, would exceed expectations. There is vanishingly little that Democrats and Republicans agree on beyond a shared scepticism towards Big Tech and China. Republicans appear to be held together not so much by policy preferences as by a disdain for Democrats and their allies in the business and cultural elites.
