Democratic narrative

GOP internal bickering merely highlights the general public's lack of trust in American institutions.

Republican narrative

The GOP must now come together to reunite the House. If not, the House must consider allowing the speaker pro tempore to exercise greater power than we have currently witnessed. Either way, the Republican Party has the resolve to end this impasse and balance the ill-conceived policies of the Biden administration — including Biden's policies that are weak on China.
