Republicans Keep Control of House of Representatives, Plan to Move Fast on Trump Agenda


The Republican Party will keep control of the House of Representatives, giving Donald Trump a governing majority in both houses of Congress.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has said he will work aggressively to implement Trump’s agenda, including tax cuts, deportations, energy policy, and regulatory reform. Democrats had hoped to flip the House with strong showings in California and New York, which would have denied Trump the ability to move his legislative agenda, but fell short of that goal. Johnson said Republicans intend to use the budget reconciliation process, which allows legislation to pass without a filibuster in the Senate, to achieve their aims on regulatory and tax policy.
