Summary

Republicans have won control of both the House and Senate, solidifying their alignment with President-elect Donald Trump and his aggressive “America First” agenda.

Trump’s allies, including new House Speaker Mike Johnson, aim to overhaul federal programs, enact conservative policies, and investigate Trump’s legal adversaries.

Trump nominated loyalist Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general, raising concerns among Democrats and some Republicans.

The GOP’s slim House majority could complicate legislative unity, while the Senate’s 53-seat majority provides leeway for confirming Trump’s Cabinet, including potential Supreme Court nominees.

    People: America is too racist to elect a black man.

    Black man runs as a progressive and wins two consecutive elections handily.

    People: America is too misogynistic to elect a woman.

    Two women run as neo-liberals and lose, one gets crushed.

    People: See? Women are too controversial.
