WASHINGTON — Forget about all that congressional gridlock and political paralysis.

There’s new caucus in the U.S. Capitol, dedicated to "governing" and "getting things done."

Called the Republican Main Street Caucus, the new group of House GOP lawmakers says its members are "pragmatic" conservatives who will work to build consensus among House Republicans on major economic and national security issues.

"We are focused on getting things done and delivering real results to the American people," Rep. Pat Tiberi, an Ohio Republican and the group’s chairman, said in a statement Thursday.

Republicans control both chambers of Congress and the White House, so you might wonder why they need a special caucus dedicated to passing their own legislative priorities. But so far, the GOP has little to show for itself on that front.

Earlier this summer, they failed to deliver on their promise to repeal and replace Obamacare, despite seven years’ lead time, mostly because of an internal battle pitting moderate Republicans against conservatives. Things haven’t gotten much better since then.

House conservatives are reportedly fuming at Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., over his handling of tax reform and other GOP priorities. And President Trump stunned his erstwhile GOP allies on Wednesday when he cut a deal with Democrats to raise the nation’s borrowing limit and fund the government through Dec. 15.

Whether the new caucus can bring harmony to the GOP — or will just add to the cacophony — is not clear. The news release announcing the Main Street group’s formation was laced with words like "commonsense" and "practical."

But the Tiberi-led group serve mostly as a counterweight to the House Freedom Caucus, which was started by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and is made up of about 40 firebrand conservatives.

The Freedom Caucus, dubbed by some critics as the "Hell No" caucus, has become a vocal faction within the House GOP conference, pushing GOP leaders to the right on everything from health care to federal spending. On the other end of the spectrum is the Tuesday Group, a band of GOP moderates who emerged as significant power center during the House debate over Obamacare.
