With an expected GOP takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives following Novemberโ€™s midterm elections, Republicans in the chamber are poised to launch a slew of investigations aimed at dialing up the pressure on the Biden administration over a range of issuesโ€”from border security to Hunter Biden to the origins of the pandemic.

Domestic concerns faced by everyday Americansโ€”most notably a historic inflation rateโ€”will be key priorities, according to Chair of the House Republican Conference Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.).

House Republicans will take the administration to task on alleged โ€œpolicy failures that have created an inflation crisis, energy crisis, border crisis, and crime crisis impacting every American family,โ€ Stefanik told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.

Big Techโ€™s censorship of conservative voices will also be scrutinized, she added.

On the foreign policy front, the Biden administrationโ€™s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Chinese Communist Partyโ€™s influence in the United States and abroad, and U.S. strategy toward Iran are set to come under focus.

Republicans are already laying the groundwork to take on โ€œan aggressive oversight roleโ€ next year by issuing preservation notices and document requests so a potential GOP majority โ€œwill be ready to hold the Biden administration accountable from day one,โ€ a House GOP leadership aide told The Epoch Times in an email.

Oversight Committee

Many of the inquiries are expected to be spearheaded by the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Reform, the chamberโ€™s main investigative panel that has broad authority to scrutinize various facets of the administration.

The committeeโ€™s ranking member James Comer (R-Ky.), who is poised to take the chair should the Republicans flip the House, foreshadowed an ambitious agenda by a GOP-led panel.

โ€œ[W]e will return the House Oversight and Reform Committee to its core mission of rooting out waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government and holding the Executive Branch accountable,โ€ Comer told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.

Another committee member Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) had a clear message for the Biden administration via email to The Epoch Times: โ€œTheir days of corruption, fraud, and abuse will no longer be met with blind eyes.โ€
