The historic Republican victory in the U.S. House of Representatives,
combined with major gains by Republicans in the U.S. Senate in the congressional midterm elections, shifted rightward the political center of gravity in Washington.
Republican congressional leaders, buoyed

to the nation’s capital to, among other
things, cut federal spending and rollback
“job-killing” federal regulations. |
