Republicans in the House! What does the new majority mean? Jim Antle breaks it down
We can finally say that Republicans will take the majority in the House of Representatives in January. So what does this mean for foreign policy — especially the new $37 billion package President Biden wants to push through the lame duck session this December? The Washington Examiner’s politics editor Jim Antle joins us to break down how this super-slim majority will actually give an edge to Republicans who have been critical of the aid and in favor of a more restrained foreign policy. He discusses the different flavors of these GOP critics, and how this may be setting up a real fight for who defines a “conservative foreign policy.” In the first segment Kelley & Dan talk (optimistically!) about that big face-to-face between China’s Xi-Jinping and President Biden at the G20.
