Partaking in the revolving door (early-mid Obama 2 era) and chatting with friends of mine who still work on the Hill about these kinds of topics.

What ways? Thin margins BY DEFAULT slow everything down. The house is functionally split 218-215 now that Gaetz and Stefanik have been nominated.

Just 3 defection means House votes fail, and managing a caucus is DIFFICULT - especially given how split the GOP is.
