Why House Democrats might not have to cooperate with Jim Jordan
Yahoo • • nation
Key Points:
- House Democrats are wary of Rep. Jim Jordan's election as minority leader due to his limited bipartisan relationships.
- Next Congress, Democrats' strong House majority may reduce the need to collaborate with Republicans on key funding and rule votes.
- Proposed bipartisan bills, such as a stock trading ban, may still emerge early in the session to attract some Republican support.
- A smaller Republican minority will likely weaken the impact of discharge petitions, which Democrats previously used to force votes.
- Recent Republican procedural moves on a veterans benefits bill have strained cross-party relations, with Democrats' objections being dismissed.
