Trump to Return as President in January 2025 with GOP Controlling Senate and House, 218 - 209

Nov 12, 2024, 12:40 AM

Donald Trump is set to return to the White House as President with the Republican Party in control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives starting January 2025. This marks the first time since the 2016 election that the GOP will have a trifecta, holding the Presidency, Senate, and House. The rare alignment of executive and legislative power will enable Trump to push his agenda, which includes aggressive tariff policies, slashing taxes, and shrinking the federal government. The GOP's control of all three branches of government is seen as a historic mandate from the American people. The GOP is projected to keep control of the House with a 218 - 209 majority.
