Mrvan eyes areas of common ground in closely divided Congress

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : The House voted Friday afternoon to make Louisiana Republican Rep. Mike Johnson speaker again -- by a razor-thin margin of 218-215 over Jeffries -- after Trump called a trio of GOP holdouts to convince them to support Johnson, according to the Associated Press.
47% : At the last minute, Trump demanded a debt limit increase, which wasn't in the final spending bill that Congress approved on Dec. 21, 2024.
25% : For example, Trump has proposed the Section 232 tariffs, which protect the steel industry and prevent subsidized steel from being dumped in the U.S., Mrvan said.
22% : On that day, a mob of Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from certifying the election for President Joe Biden.
