Rep.-elect Scott Fitzgerald, a veteran state legislator from Wisconsin who spent eight years as the Republican leader in the state Senate, is "excited" about what the House Republican minority can do in the next Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., predicted in August that Democrats would expand their majority by at least "double-digits." Now it appears that Democrats will actually see their majority shrink by double-digits, bringing Republicans to potentially less than 10 seats short of a majority. "Maybe the dynamic of a thin majority will actually force Pelosi to work with McCarthy to get things done," Fitzgerald said. This drew an anxious reaction from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md.
