GOP Takes House Majority; Plans Bills On Border, Energy, Spending Cuts
Newsy
Republicans have many goals as they take control of the House, including ramping up oil production, cutting spending, and reducing Ukraine funding.
Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives, with big plans to address inflation, the border and wide-ranging investigations.
House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy is likely set to become House Speaker. The Republican has said his top priority is passing legislation to ramp up U.S. oil production and secure the southern border.
"On that very first day that we're sworn in, you're going to see it all change," Rep. McCarthy said. "I think the first thing you'll see is a bill to control the border first. You've got to get control over the border. We've had almost 2 million people just this year alone coming across."
