Republican hopes for a “red wave” in the 2022 midterms that would sweep the party into power in both houses of Congress fell short on Election Day. The party lost a seat in the Senate, leaving the current divide at 51-49 in favor of the Democrats, and while the GOP was successful in retaking the House of Representatives, it currently only holds a slim 10-seat majority in the chamber.
With a Democrat-held Senate, Joe Biden in the White House, and divisions within his own party, it might seem like House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is extremely limited in what he can hope to achieve before the next election cycle, there are several things House Republicans can actually achieve before they get the chance to win the Senate and presidency in 2024.
