Footage captures newly elected members of the US House of Representatives ascending the Capitol steps , mingling in clusters and exchanging warm greetings, some punctuated by enthusiastic high-fives. Drawn from Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Virginia and beyond, the freshman cohort gathered for a mandatory orientation programme designed to introduce first-time lawmakers to parliamentary protocol , their impending duties and life on Capitol Hill. Their arrival in Washington follows November’s midterm elections, which yielded sweeping gains for the Democrats alongside a markedly smaller intake of Republicans.
