As the Democratic freshmen lawmakers round the first 100 days of their new majority in the House, they’re taking stock of their accomplishments, noting the stumbles and marking their place as a frontline of resistance to President Donald Trump. The first 100 days is often a milestone for a new Congress — an automatic, if arbitrary, moment to assess the workings of the legislative branch. “I have one question for the Democrats after their first 100 days: What have you accomplished?” said Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Wednesday. “Name me one problem you have solved.”Another Republican, Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, warned that Democrats are veering toward socialism. Underwood, who gathered the freshmen to make a video showcasing what they were most proud of, acknowledged the hurdles ahead.
