Republicans have won enough seats to control the U.S. House, completing the party’s sweep into power and securing their hold on U.S. government alongside President-elect Donald Trump.

Summary

Republicans have won control of both the House and Senate, solidifying their alignment with President-elect Donald Trump and his aggressive “America First” agenda.

Trump’s allies, including new House Speaker Mike Johnson, aim to overhaul federal programs, enact conservative policies, and investigate Trump’s legal adversaries.

Trump nominated loyalist Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general, raising concerns among Democrats and some Republicans.

The GOP’s slim House majority could complicate legislative unity, while the Senate’s 53-seat majority provides leeway for confirming Trump’s Cabinet, including potential Supreme Court nominees.
