House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Friday detailed his “Engage America” ​​agenda, including policies to fight inflation, illegal immigration and allowing only women to participate in women’s sports during an event type in Monongahela, Pennsylvania. McCarthy, R-Calif., has touted the agenda for months as a promise that could help him take back the House majority and a plan to govern in 2023. The agenda includes a slate of broad policy recommendations in four broad categories: “An Economy That’s Strong?” “A nation that is secure” “A future built on freedom” and “A government that is accountable”. The agenda follows his book “Contract with America,” which helped former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., win the GOP majority in the 1990s. Gingrich will attend a meeting Thursday with the Republicans as they present the agenda. McCarthy sat down with GOP convention chairwoman Elise Stefanik and GOP Whip Steve Scalise on “Fox and Friends” Friday morning in Washington County, Pennsylvania, for Breakfast with Americans to see the pledge and share their message to voters before the midterm elections.

We want to be in front of the American public. We want the election to be contested. If they trust us, that’s exactly what we’re going to do. feet to the fire. And on the very first day, we’re going to take out 87,000 agents of IRS. So they won’t come after you. We work for you. You don’t work for us,” McCarthy said.

On inflation, the agenda said Republicans would “restrain wasteful government spending that raises the price of groceries, gas, cars and homes and increases our national debt.” On security, he says the GOP will fund border security, fund the police, “crack down” on left-wing prosecutors and create a “Select Committee on China.” The agenda also promises to “Promote the Bill of Rights for Parents,” ensure that “only women can compete in women’s sports,” ban proxy voting in Congress, increase government oversight, and strengthen domestic energy . JOURNALISTS SUGGESTE HIGHER COLLEGE TAXES TO PAY FOR BIDEN’S STUDENT LOAN RELIEF Republicans familiar with the plan say it is the culmination of more than a year of work starting with the GOP-only China Task Force. McCarthy liked that model and took over several other task forces earlier this year, including on the economy, technology, health, energy and more. Some policies proposed by Republicans in “Pledge to America” ​​are more specific, Republicans familiar with the plan said. Among them is the Declaration of the Rights of Parents. Others are more general, including holding progressive prosecutors accountable. Republicans familiar with the plan also noted that “Commitment to America” ​​is the first interim GOP agenda to be published in multiple languages, Spanish and English. Democrats on Friday already launched their attacks on McCarthy’s plan, calling it an “extreme MAGA agenda.” “House Republicans are doubling down on an extreme MAGA agenda: criminalizing women’s health care, cutting seniors’ Medicare (including eliminating lower drug prices for seniors in the Inflation Reduction Act), and attacking our democracy ,” in a press release from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Republicans have an advantage because of the shaky economy and President Biden’s low approval ratings. But Democrats have claimed some new momentum after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and increased legal problems for former President Donald Trump. Fox News’ Aishah Hasnie contributed to this report. Tyler Olson covers politics for Fox News Digital.
