Republican House Majority Is “Great News for the Future of our Country”

‘Yesterday evening brought confirmation of some great news for the future of our country: Republicans have secured the majority in the House of Representatives for the next two years. It will be Senate Republicans’ great pleasure to partner closely with and serve alongside the new Republican House.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the new Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives:

“Yesterday evening brought confirmation of some great news for the future of our country: Republicans have secured the majority in the House of Representatives for the next two years.

“It will be Senate Republicans’ great pleasure to partner closely with and serve alongside the new Republican House. I congratulate the soon-to-be Speaker McCarthy and all of the new and returning members of Congress across the Capitol whose elections will be transforming the People’s House from a reckless rubber-stamp into a sorely-needed check and balance.

“The composition of the new House demonstrates that fatigue and exhaustion with reckless and radical far-left policies is not just limited to so-called ‘red’ or ‘purple’ states. New Republican Congressmen and Congresswomen have been hired by their neighbors even in deep ‘blue’ states like New York and California.

“Even further evidence that when the American people get an un-muddled look at our commonsense conservative vision on the issues, they like what they see.

“I’ll look forward to working with our House Republican colleagues – new and returning – in the years to come.”
