House and Senate Elect Leadership to Usher in Trump Agenda

The U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate returned to Washington, D.C. after a long but successful recess. After being in the minority since the 2020 elections, Senate Republicans will regain their role in the majority next year with a four-seat lead over the Democrat caucus. Votes are still being counted in several House races, but Republicans are ahead with 217 seats compared to Democrats’ 210 seats. The House solidified its majority this week with 218 seats, but Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) resigned after being nominated by President Trump to the position of Attorney General. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will call a special election to fill that vacant seat.
