If Democrats Flip the House, What Will They Prioritize?
Summary from the AllSides News Team
With Democrats largely projected to flip the House, perspectives vary on their potential agenda, with some positing they will reform campaign ethics, outlaw gerrymandering, and bolster voting rights, while others say they will prioritize impeachment and increase spending. Republicans are expected to keep the Senate, so some also point out that many policy initiatives on both sides of the aisle will likely come to a standstill.
