Republican Control and Legislative Power

With Republicans winning 218 House seats, President-elect Trump gains significant leverage to push through his agenda, as he now has control over both Congress and the Supreme Court. This shift in power is expected to facilitate the implementation of several campaign promises, with immigration emerging as a likely priority. The potential changes in abortion policy also arise as a point of discussion, given mixed messages from Trump and pressure from his base to adopt more restrictive measures. However, the Senate filibuster will still present challenges for the Republicans in passing legislation, creating a complex political landscape ahead.
