What's ahead for Congress in 2023? Republicans looking for payback
CBSN
A New Year, a new Congress, and a divided government. Yet, Republican Brian Fitzpatrick, of Pennsylvania, and Democrat Josh Gottheimer, of New Jersey, still believe that, in a splintered, GOP-held House, good things can happen. "Most people have never heard of us," Fitzpatrick said. "They're like, 'Really? There's a group of Democrats and Republicans actually get together and sit down?'"
"Is it realistic that you can actually solve the problems next year?" asked Costa.
"Yes, and we have no choice. We have to."
