2024 Republican Landslide: Expected to Take Majority in Both Houses of Congress | WPN World People News

With Donald Trump confirmed as the winner of the 2024 presidential election, the results of the Congressional elections continue to come in. The Republican Party has already secured a majority in the Senate. In the House of Representatives, which has over 435 seats, the latest vote tally shows the Republicans leading with 209 seats, ahead of the Democratic Party's 191 seats. It is expected that the Republicans will also secure a majority in the House of Representatives.

Similar to the presidential race, the Senate elections saw the Republican Party successfully overturning the results from four years ago, regaining control of the Senate. This marks a significant turnaround and gives the Republicans a majority in both chambers of Congress. With this new Republican dominance, the shift from the Biden administration, where the Republicans had only a narrow lead in the House, will allow Trump’s presidency to proceed more smoothly. This includes easier passage of his policies, such as the appointment of Cabinet members and Supreme Court justices, as well as his repeated calls for major increases in import tariffs and tougher immigration policies.
