House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said that the “first thing” Republicans will propose is more border security if his party retakes the House during the 2022 midterm elections on Tuesday.

Numerous analysts and forecasters have predicted that Republicans will be able to secure a majority in the House, where Democrats currently hold a slim lead. The GOP needs to gain a net five seats, while historically the party of the president tends to lose seats in midterms.
