Clyburn confident House will pass Biden agenda despite narrow majority
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) predicted that the lower chamber will be able to pass President-elect Joe Biden's legislative agenda despite Democrats' razor-thin majority.
"I've been managing something all my life, so I can manage this," Clyburn, a top Biden ally, said Tuesday in a Politico Playbook Live interview. "I'll have the management in place to get it done."
Clyburn's confidence comes despite expectations that passing substantial bills could be a slog in the House, which is only narrowly controlled by Democrats after the party unexpectedly lost seats in the November elections.
Three more lawmakers are also leaving the chamber to take posts in the Biden administration, though Democrats are expected to win back the seats in special elections later this year.
