We go now to Republican Congressman Mike Lawler of New York, good morning and welcome to the show.REP.
Well, look, we're in a deeply divided government. Obviously, Democrats control the Senate and the White House right now, Republicans control the House. Regardless of the outcome in November, we're still going to have very tight margins, whether it's in the House or the Senate, and I've proven myself to be a bipartisan legislator. I've been rated the fourth most bipartisan member of Congress. I've passed 10 bills, five of which have been signed into law by President Biden.
-- Some of my closest colleagues in Washington have been Josh Gottheimer, Ritchie Torres, Jared Moskowitz. Look at the end of the day, the American people are going to decide in 16 days who the next President is going to be and who controls Congress. I have proven in this Congress, in a divided government, that I can work across the aisle to get things done.
