  • Meet the new faces and familiar faces changing titles from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware being sworn in to the 119th Congress.

The article from MSN discusses the swearing-in of new and returning members of Congress from Pennsylvania and the surrounding region. Key points include the swearing-in of Democrat Susan Wild, who represents the Lehigh Valley and narrowly won her seat again, and Republican Scott Perry, who has been a controversial figure due to his involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Newcomers like Democrat Chris Deluzio from Pittsburgh's suburbs and Republican Mike Kelly, who has been in Congress since 2011, are also highlighted. The article touches on the political dynamics, with mentions of the slim Republican majority in the House, the influence of the Freedom Caucus, and the expectations for bipartisan cooperation. Additionally, it notes the presence of other regional representatives like Summer Lee, who is the first Black woman to represent Pennsylvania in Congress, and Brian Fitzpatrick, known for his bipartisan efforts. The piece also briefly covers the broader implications of the new Congress, including leadership changes and the potential for legislative gridlock.
