Instead of bracing for a disaster, Democrats are hoping they can actually work with Republicans on a sensitive subject.
. Democratic policies on masking, testing and vaccine requirements have been admonished by Republicans, and eliminating them have been among House Republicans’ first priorities this term.
That sort of “leadership nucleus” would be a feat in Congress. Rarely—particularly in the House—do committee chairs and their ranking members coexist in peace. But Ruiz and Wenstrup, both of whom are doctors, could share some common knowledge and language that would benefit their working experience. Democrats had their own select subcommittee on the coronavirus last term, helmed by Rep. Jim Clyburn . His subcommittee at the time faced pressure from Republicans to investigate the origins of the coronavirus, too, namely from current House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and current House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer .
Asked if he had concerns about misinformation coming from the Republicans on the panel, Clyburn insisted the Democrats' work on COVID last term was sound—even as Republicans look to pick it apart. “But we’ll be ready and we’ll have a strategy with the great members that we’ve put on these committees,” he added.
