House Republicans who support MAGA ideals have lost a great deal of power recently. Their intent was to use the debt ceiling as leverage, but they ultimately didn't accomplish much. Their behavior was reckless, as they caused a debt crisis out of nothing and played a dangerous game with the country's finances. They were willing to damage the country's credit and demanded cuts to programs that benefit vulnerable citizens. Despite all this, they achieved almost nothing for their cause and are now seen as powerless.

The new deal has left President Biden's economic plan mostly untouched, with only a few minor adjustments like reducing some funds from the IRS and removing the pause on federal student loan payments (which were due to expire soon anyway). While it introduces new work requirements for certain individuals who receive federal aid, including childless adults who receive food stamps, it also increases spending on the program and provides assistance to more people. Medicaid remains unaffected.

I am skeptical that Kevin McCarthy has had a change of heart and decided to embrace compromise and bipartisanship. His position as speaker of the House still relies on support from the MAGA Republicans, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, and Lauren Boebert. Over the next few months, I expect House Republicans to try all sorts of appalling tactics - for instance, launching an impeachment trial against President Biden, calling Hunter Biden to testify in dirty proceedings, prioritizing freedom of religion over other values, and even flirting with a ban on abortion across the country. Their congressional hearings will receive plenty of coverage on Fox News and Newsmax, but they will go nowhere, and their bills will die in the Senate.
