It is a Commitment to America where for the last year and a half all the Republican members have been in different task forces going out and working on solutions to the problems,” McCarthy said in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Thursday.
Rather than have each member give a rehearsed stump speech about their legislative agenda, McCarthy, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Republican Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and the other Republicans answered questions from audience members about how their agenda would solve the crises unfolding two years into Biden’s watch.Bryan Steil (R-WI) said that House Republicans would “rein in” Biden’s reckless spending, and Rep.
Jim Jordan (R-OH), the likely next House Judiciary Committee chairman, said that Republicans would be doing an investigation, with subpoena power, on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.
After the town hall concluded, Scalise told Breitbart News that he believes that Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) are “disconnected” from the average American and that Republicans want to deliver a message to the American people that they have solutions to the crises facing working-class Americans.Scalise said, “Just hearing people outside of Washington in the real world talking about all of the problems that they’re facing because of the agenda of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, how much it’s hurting them, in order for them to my food for their families to you know, the struggles that they had with their kids who couldn’t go to their football games, and it just seems like the Democrats in Washington are completely disconnected, what the reality is, what their policies are doing to the hardworking people on the ground.Many House Republicans told Breitbart News that the event goes deeper than merely trying to explain their agenda to the American people.And I think that would stand as a stark contrast between what we are offering yet, but what has occurred under Democrat control will be such that the American people will entrust us with their vote this November,” Steil explained to Breitbart News.
Bills that will go through committee feed debated on the House floor, passed over to the Senate, and it’s a mandate so that as bills go to the Senate, I think there’s going to be more people than ever calling their senators getting pressure,” Scalise said.
McCarthy teased in his interview with Breitbart News that they plan to continue taking this agenda to the American people so that they could earn their votes and trust to gain the majority.
