Deep dives
Republican Control of Washington
Republicans have regained full control of Washington with President-elect Trump’s announcement of key appointments, including Congressman Matt Gaetz as his pick for Attorney General. This shift represents a significant power consolidation for the GOP, allowing Trump to advance his agenda effectively. The control of the House of Representatives, albeit by a slim majority, empowers the party to push through various initiatives, including tax policy changes and immigration reforms. The dynamics in Congress are expected to change dramatically as Trump's agenda aligns closely with the new leadership.
