President Biden's job just got tougher. The midterm election results mean Republicans likely will control the House. But there are some political silver linings in divided government.
Biden will focus on foreign policy, and try to use more executive actions
Biden is also more likely to turn his focus to foreign policy, where presidents have more executive power to begin with. "It's very easy for every new majority that comes in to think that the election was about them — when in most cases, when a Congress gets kicked out, it's because people just didn't like what the other party was doing. It's not necessarily a validation of the new party," Buck said.
"It's payback," said Bill Galston, a former domestic policy adviser in the Clinton White House who now serves a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution."They are very angry about the investigations to which they believe they've been subjected."
