The Republican Party confirmed its majority in the House of Representatives, according to projections from CNN and NBC News. This result marks a clear victory for the conservative camp, which now controls both houses of Congress as well as the presidency. This domination gives President-elect Donald Trump unprecedented mastery of the levers of power to implement his program.
Republicans won at least 218 seats in the House, retaining their majority, after also regaining control of the Senate in previous elections. “It was a decisive victory across the nation. People want to see us implement and apply our program,” said Mike Johnson, a Republican representative expected to continue to preside over the House.
Total control of the US Congress
Steve Scalise, another major figure in Congress, detailed the priorities for the first hundred days: “lower food costs, lower energy costs, secure the border, get the economy moving so families who had difficulty could get back in the saddle. »
This control of Congress should greatly facilitate the implementation of Donald Trump's campaign promises. These include mass expulsions of migrants, tax cuts, and deregulation measures. To accelerate his program, the future president has also expressed his intention to use a clause allowing temporary appointments to key positions without going through the Senate confirmation processes.
