Yes, there really is a problem solvers caucus in the US House. Dean Phillips started it. In this interview he tells how he got up in 2016 after Trump won and told his daughters he was going to do something. He could have attacked Republicans and played political games, and he talks about his colleagues doing just that, instead, he started this caucus and did a bunch of work across the parties that you hear about in this.
