House GOP's Tumultuous First Year Yields Little Legislation
• House Republicans had a disappointing first year in the majority, with infighting and dysfunction leading to just 31 bills passed - the lowest in 50+ years
• Historic events like the Speaker vote drama and Santos expulsion reflected internal bitterness and politics of revenge
• Lack of legislative victories becoming a Democratic attack line ahead of 2024 elections
• Some Republicans argue stopping Biden agenda was a victory, less legislation can equal limited government
• Divided government and slim majority meant bipartisanship was difficult, issues expected to continue in 2024
