The Republican Party has moved to the right by many measures, and the Democratic Party has moved to the left.

These years have been arguably the most productive period of Washington bipartisanship in decades.
After the bill’s passage, far-right House Republicans tried to oust Speaker Mike Johnson because he did not block it — and House Democrats voted to save Johnson’s job.
Last week, the House advanced another bipartisan bill, on disaster relief, using a rare procedural technique to get around party-line votes.
