Outgoing Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer says the 'biggest change' he's seen in his congressional career is 'how confrontational Republicans have become'

The outgoing Democratic House Majority Leader said in a recent interview that the biggest change he's noticed is the more "confrontational" nature of the Republicans.

One of the first Democrats to be approached by top Republicans looking to cut deals on various pieces of legislation would be House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

In an interview with The Washington Post, where he will step back from leadership but remain in the House in January, he was candid about the toll that partisanship has taken in the chamber.

He told the newspaper that the biggest change in the institution was how Republicans acted.

The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in 1990 by a bipartisan group of people.

The governing of the GOP became more difficult after the party's former House speakers struggled to contain the most extreme elements.

The events of January 6, 2021, were also mentioned.
