WASHINGTON: Republicans said they will break the legislative stalemate that has paralysed Washington for the past several years if they win control of the Senate in the upcoming congressional elections.
Party figures said they could pass trade, tax and immigration bills that might win the approval of President Barack Obama if they control both the Senate and the House of Representatives after tomorrow’s midterm elections.
“It’s time for us to break that blockade, pass some legislation,” Mitt Romney, the Republicans’ 2012 presidential nominee, said on Fox News Sunday.
Although Obama’s name is not on the ballot, voters are losing confidence in his leadership after six years in the White House.
