OPINION (NEWSWEEK) – With last week’s bipartisan passage of H.R.1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, an amazing pattern has developed in the new Republican-led House of Representatives. The lower chamber is consistently passing bills the American people support with a bipartisan majority.
In fact, Democrats have supported 37 of the first 43 bills that Speaker Kevin McCarthy has gotten through the House. That means 86 percent of bills passed by the House have been bipartisan. Democrats have cast 4,701 votes for these bills.
As I wrote previously, the new, Republican-led Congress is proving itself to be dramatically different from the Nancy Pelosi-led House of the last two Congresses.
Pelosi was using iron discipline (and considerable fear of her power) to pass extremist legislation with strictly Democratic votes. She was effective in holding together her narrow majority (until the election) but the Democrats’ big-government bills were so full of extreme positions she could rarely get any Republican votes.
By contrast, Speaker McCarthy has been bringing up legislation that is widely supported by the American people.
