Now, with a reshuffle of the House leadership, I hope we will find a common ground to work together on our common goals and counter the radical left’s job killing agenda, “Banks told The Hill in a statement. .
The chamber said last month that it would stop political contributions for some lawmakers following the deadly riots in the US Chapter last month, although it did not say which lawmakers would lose support. Banks voted against certifying election results on January 6th.

“Republicans support fewer regulations and lower taxes and American jobs. Agenda Biden nu. The room that supports those who hate business is like feeding your arm with an alligator “, said the Bank’s assistant.
