For New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, her top achievement during the first 100 days of the Democrats' House majority was the introduction of the landmark Green New Deal. 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. House Republicans gathered on the Capitol steps for their own 100-day event, ridiculing the new majority for catering to the liberal left and failing to keep their campaign promises. “I have one question for the Democrats after their first 100 days: What have you accomplished?” Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said on Wednesday. Democrats know they face challenges ahead, not only in avoiding the internal divisions that stymied House Republicans when they were in power but also in delivering on their campaign promises.
