McCarthy Unveils House GOP's Midterm Agenda In Pennsylvania
Newsy
Democrats say the "true details" of the Republican agenda are "frightening."
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy on Friday directly confronted President Joe Biden and the party in power, choosing battleground Pennsylvania to unveil a midterm election agenda with sweeping Trump-like promises despite the House GOP’s sometimes spotty record of delivering and governing in Congress.
McCarthy, who is poised to seize the speaker's gavel if Republicans win control of the House in the fall, hopes to replicate the strategy former Speaker Newt Gingrich used to spark voter enthusiasm and sweep House control in a 1994 landslide.
The House GOP's "Commitment to America" gives a nod to that earlier era but updates it for Trump, with economic, border security and social policies to rouse the former president's deep well of supporters in often-forgotten regions like this rusty landscape outside Pittsburgh.
