The Daily Quote
“Tuesday marks the first day of the 114th Congress, and a new Congress means a new day in politics right? Americans are dubious. A new CNN poll reveals that most voters are not counting on the Republican majority to break up the gridlock in Washington. In fact, some voters predict partisanship may get even worse… Voters today are also not so sure that the 114th Congress will be responsive to what they want. Only 30 percent expect House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to pursue policies that reflect America's priorities… Overall, Republicans are opening the 114th Congress with their own set of agenda items. They have their eye on building the Keystone XL pipeline, negotiating trade deals, and passing tax reform, but the next Congress is up against many of the same obstacles that the 113th Congress tripped over. Boehner will still have to unite his often-divided GOP majority to pass significant legislation, and McConnell will still have to find some consensus with Democrats in order to pass his own bills.” - National Journal, 1/6/2015
