In yet another blow to Democrats, Donald Trump will begin his presidency with a trifecta of Republican control in Washington.

With the GOP retaining control of the House, Trump will enjoy a trifecta for at least the first two years of his term.

Republicans have won enough seats to control the U.S. House, completing the party’s sweep into power and securing their hold on U.S. government alongside President-elect Donald Trump.

Republicans have also taken control of the Senate. Republicans gained control of the House two years ago during the 2022 midterm elections. While there was no “red wave” as had been predicted, they were able to flip 19 districts from blue to red.
