Republicans are projected to keep control of the House of Representatives, handing the party total control of Washington with former President Trump back in the White House in January.

Decision Desk HQ projected the GOP would hold the House by winning its 218th seat on Monday, the number needed for a majority in the lower chamber.

    A parliamentarian is appointed by the majority and their opinions are advisory. So if you want to kill the $15 minimum wage increase, first you have to appoint a parliamentarian who disagrees with the $15 minimum wage and then you have to pretend like they are an expert (and not just a political appointment) and that their opinion is somehow binding. So much circular bullshit “clever politics”, just to lose to Trump ANYWAY.
