It is going to be hard for the President to enact his agenda with Democrats adding 38 to 43 seats in the House. Also true is the fact that Democrats can push things through that Republicans will be compelled to sign off on.

Democratic Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia is probably the one who will lead the effort if he does become the next chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee.
They call this pro-labor and it makes unions look good but it will cost jobs.

Fortunately, the Senate will remain in Republican hands and they can kill many of this ill-thought-out leftist proposals.
