In 2022 we wrote a book about congressional dysfunction, but the 117th Congress that closed out 2022 with a flurry of bipartisan legislative accomplishments was the opposite of a dysfunctional congress. As much as this week’s Congressional circus causes us to worry that the new 118th Congress with Republicans in the majority in the House could devolve into chaos and stalemate, there is reason for hope that the coalition that passed so much legislation in 2022 will reemerge to make Congress work in 2023 and 2024.
