Congress in Chaos: A Broken and Unproductive 118th Congress Leaves Much to Do in 2024
The 118th Congress has been marked by chaos and dysfunction, with just 27 bills and resolutions signed into law. House Republicans led the turmoil, ousting their own speaker, punishing colleagues, and launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The Senate also faced challenges, including a Republican senator blocking military promotions and the failure to broker a U.S.-Mexico border security deal for Ukraine. As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Congress faces the challenge of passing legislation while dealing with the influence of former President Donald Trump and the hard-right Freedom Caucus. The need for a functioning Congress is crucial in addressing the nation's problems and challenges.
