It’s expected that they will be contentious. But chances are they’ll be much more contentious than most expect.
Why? Because Democrats are in danger of losing control of the House. And it’s not likely that they’ll take it lying down.
How much power do they stand to lose? Quite a bit. In the first place, Kevin McCarthy could become Speaker of the House, which would put him second in line for the presidency should Joe Biden be unable to finish his term.
Which brings to mind the next thing that the Democrats fear—namely, that Republicans will launch an impeachment investigation against the President. It’s also likely that, once in power, the Republican majority would initiate other investigations into Democrat malfeasance.
In addition, Republicans will take charge of committees, attempt to strip House Democrats from certain sensitive committees (e. g., Eric Swalwell’s assignment to the Intelligence and Homeland Security committees), and introduce bills that would nullify Democrat legislation. In short, a Republican majority in the House could make life miserable for the Dems.
