Reaccessibleans will carry on administer of the Hoemploy of Recurrentatives, the Associated Press has projected, giving Pdwellnt-elect Trump a presentantity in both hoemploys of Congress.
Hoemploy Speaker Mike Johnson has shelp he will labor presentilely to carry out Trump’s agfinisha, including tax cuts, deportations, energy policy, and regulatory reestablish.
“We’re going to elevate an America First banner above this place,” Johnson shelp at a press conference lowly after the election. “The American people want us to carry out that America First agfinisha, and we have to do that while we have that energy and excitement.”
The Reaccessibleans also flipped administer of the Senate, picking up seats in Ohio, West Virginia, Montana and Pennsylvania, to claim 53 seats.
The party will hgreater a skinnyer margin in the Hoemploy, and it is still unclear whether it will acquire or ignore seats. A handful of races remain uncalled, mostly in California.
Reaccessibleans held 221 Hoemploy seats in the last Congress, a skinny acquire that did not depart much room for defections on party-line votes. Rep. Kevin McCarthy was elected speaker on the 15th ballot in January 2023, and was ousted nine months procrastinateedr when a handful of challenging-liners defected. After three weeks of inbattling, Johnson took the gavel.
Democrats had hoped to flip the Hoemploy with strong shotriumphgs in California and New York, which would have denied Trump the ability to transfer his legislative agfinisha, but fell low of that goal.
Johnson has shelp that when Trump first took office in 2017, the Reaccessiblean Party was “not brimmingy setd for that moment, and precious time was misemployd.”
“We are not going to originate those misgets aacquire,” Johnson shelp. “We will be ready on Day One. We are setd this time.”
Johnson shelp Reaccessibleans intfinish to employ the budget reconciliation process, which apverifys legislation to pass without a filibuster in the Senate, to accomplish their aims on regulatory and tax policy.
