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.

    Difference there is that most of the fear of trump in the white house is based on the things he himself has said and already done.

        Here some of us are. How many are dead because of how he fucked over the covid response? How many women died because his stacked court allowed abortion bans? How many people has his favorite Nazi groups killed?

        That’s not even to mention how much worse he made everything in this country or how verifiably corrupt he was and still is.
