Republicans will have at least the 218 votes needed to control the 435-seat House of Representatives, having already secured a majority in the US Senate
Donald Trump’s Republican Party will control both houses of Congress when he takes office in January, according to Edison Research, allowing him to advance his agenda of tax cuts and shrinking the federal government.
Republicans will have at least the 218 votes needed to control the 435-seat House of Representatives, according to the projection. They had already secured a majority in the US Senate of at least 52-48.
The current Congress faces year-end deadlines to fund the government to avoid a Christmas shutdown and extend Washington’s borrowing capacity.
One possible scenario is to pass temporary measures to give the incoming Trump administration the ability to manage these two issues when it takes over from the Biden administration on January 20. The new Congress convenes on January 3.
