The Republican Party controls the American “Representatives” in a divided Congress
McCarthy believes that Americans are ready for a new direction and that his party is ready to achieve it.

The Republicans succeeded in wresting the majority from the Democrats in the US House of Representatives, as expected by the media on Wednesday, which guarantees them a legislative base, albeit with a slim majority that allows them to oppose President Joe Biden's work program during the next two years, amid the division of power in Congress.
The GOP's narrow majority in the House of Representatives was far less than the party had hoped, and the Republicans also failed to seize control of the Senate, after an underwhelming performance in the November 8 midterm elections.
NBC and CNN predicted that the Republicans would win no fewer than 218 seats in the 435-member House of Representatives, which is the number required to achieve a majority.
On Wednesday, President Joe Biden congratulated the leader of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, on his party's victory, expressing his willingness to "work with the Republicans in the House to achieve results for working American families."
Biden said that last week's elections represented "a strong rejection of the deniers of the election results, political violence and intimidation," and showed "the strength and resilience of American democracy."
After announcing the results of the projections, McCarthy said in a tweet, "The Americans are ready for a new direction, and the Republicans in the House of Representatives are ready to achieve this."
This news comes a day after former President Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the presidential elections, despite the fall of many Republican candidates he supported.
The Republicans had hoped to see a “red wave” sweeping across America, and to control both chambers to abort Biden’s legislative plans, but the winds turned against what they desired.
