Congress in Crisis

Published | Video Starts at 00:46

Out of all these bills, only 69 have become law. Think about that. That's not progress. That's dysfunction. Here in the House, the Republican majority is the smallest in modern history. Right now, the margin is 218 Republicans to 213 Democrats. And that margin has only become more unstable with recent departures, unexpected losses. The majority has grown even narrower. When control is this tight, a small group of members can entirely hold up House floor activity. (00:46–00:51)
