Deep dives
Republicans Secure House Control
Republicans have achieved a governing trifecta, consolidating control of the House, Senate, and the White House. This majority positions the GOP favorably to execute President-elect Donald Trump's agenda, which primarily aims to benefit Republicans and wealthy individuals. Calculations suggest that Republicans will hold a narrow majority in the House, although several races have yet to be finalized. Consequently, this shift marks a significant period for Democrats, as they face the challenge of operating in the minority, emphasizing the need to adapt their strategy for effectiveness.
