As Democrats spoil for a fight, a new face in the House is leading them on oversight
Briefly

Rep. Robert Garcia, the youngest ranking member in Congress, was selected to lead House Democrats on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Known for intense investigations, the committee has a broad scope, including topics like the COVID-19 pandemic and 9/11. Although Garcia lacks subpoena power and agenda-setting authority, he is determined to challenge Republican actions and provide vigorous opposition. He has previously faced conflict with Republicans and expresses a strong desire for confrontation with key figures like Trump and Musk, resonating with public sentiment for more aggressive engagement by Democrats.
"I think I got elected because I am aggressive. I think that we've got to be fighters in this moment."
"People are just pissed off at what's happened with Donald Trump, Elon Musk, the House Republicans, and people want to see a good fight."
