Biden says Republicans can help build a "significant majority" for Dem priorities in a GOP House.
House Democrats, however, say that's up to Republicans and who controls their agenda.
"It looks like it's Marjorie Taylor Greene and extreme MAGA Republicans," Rep. Pramila Jayapal said.

President Joe Biden says moderate Republicans can help make a "significant majority" on Democratic priorities in the GOP-led House this Congress, but Democrats aren't so sure.

They question whether they can work with House Republicans on anything beyond "must-pass" legislation when they say "extreme" GOP members seem to be leading the caucus.
