Under the leadership of House GOP extremists and extreme MAGA Republicans, Congress has been criticized for being the least productive in generations. The Republican-led House has only passed 27 bills into law in 2023, a mere 4% of the bills passed, compared to last year's 248 bills enacted under Democratic control, which represented 45% of passed legislation. The Democrats have emphasized their focus on helping real people and passing historic, bipartisan legislation such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS & Science Act, and Honoring Our PACT Act. In contrast, the current Congress has been preoccupied with baseless impeachments and investigations, with Donald Trump's influence cited as a significant factor. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has echoed the sentiment of unproductivity. The stark difference in legislative output is further highlighted by the fact that when Kevin McCarthy and Mike Johnson led the House last year, 281 bills were turned into law. As the Senate adjourns for the holiday break, urgent matters including Ukraine funding and border security are left pending.
Do you know how dysfunctional the MAGA-led House was this year? In 2023, Republicans only passed 27 bills that became law despite holding 724 votes. https://t.co/SRiVkF1OpT
Congress accomplished very little in 2023, writes @jbview, and most of the blame falls on House Republicans. Don't expect 2024 to be much different https://t.co/yVFoCvvF1m via @opinion
So, the GOP took over control of the House of Representatives and it had its most unproductive year in Congressional history. Hope they enjoy their Christmas break.
When Democrats controlled the House last year, we passed 281 bills into law. This year, under the leadership of Kevin McCarthy and Mike Johnson, only 22 bills have become law. The difference between Democratic and Republican leadership couldn’t be clearer.
“This Congress is on track to be one of the most unproductive in modern history,” the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee recently grieved, “thanks to the Republican House majority.” Correct. You’re welcome. https://t.co/8S0kgY6eLP
While @HouseDemocrats were able to pass historic, bipartisan legislation like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS & Science Act, Honoring Our PACT Act, and more during the last Congress, the House GOP has overseen the most unproductive Congress in modern history. https://t.co/wWaPKWMmqf
“They really have done nothing.” The MAGA-led House in 2023 will go down in the history books as one of the most dysfunctional and unproductive. https://t.co/B1impKUiaS
Sen. Schumer: The Republican House majority is the most unproductive and dysfunctional in modern history. Donald Trump may not be in office but his influence drove every major decision for House Republicans at great cost to our country https://t.co/RwucQwkiFd
The Senate closed up shop and went home for the holiday break. This means work and debates over Ukraine funding, Israel support, border security and keeping the government open will all get jammed into January. https://t.co/pVA5TGm37B
With lawmakers home for the holidays, there's a lingering sense of frustration in Washington. Many say Congress was chaotic and unproductive in 2023. CLICK ⬇ HERE TO READ MORE: https://t.co/kbmKHP19X9
The Republican-led House has only seen 4% of the bills passed this year become law. In 2022, the Democrat-led House saw 45% of passed legislation become law. Republican dysfunction is preventing progress on the issues that matter. https://t.co/l3ViseFqk8
An embarrassment. Under the leadership of extreme MAGA Republicans focused only on baseless impeachments and investigations, only 22 laws have passed this Congress. https://t.co/4hAr4LeasF
House Republicans have only passed 27 bills into law in 2023. Last year, when Democrats were in charge, we passed 248 bills into law, many of them bipartisan. The Republican majority has accomplished nothing for the American people because they refuse to work across the aisle. https://t.co/uS22eqCKiB
Out of 724 votes, House Republicans passed just 27 bills that became law. What else can you expect from a Do Nothing Congress run by Do Nothing Republicans... Don't just take our word for it 👇 https://t.co/eVLwcVsLeo https://t.co/dAKwh8ZLyZ
What has the House of Representatives accomplished under the leadership of MAGA Republicans? Nothing much https://t.co/uhzZaiLjLg
The #DoNothing Congress under House GOP extremists: only 27 laws have been enacted. We've wasted time on pointless bills that play "gotcha" or are a sop to extremists. Democrats will also focus on helping real people. #PeopleOverPolitics. https://t.co/9Giax10rON
The numbers are in, and they don’t paint a pretty picture. Under Republican control, this Congress has been the least productive in generations. But they did manage to: ✅almost default on the debt ✅boot their own speaker ✅almost shutdown the government twice… (& counting) https://t.co/c5Q6VIp9EQ
