After presidency and Senate, Republicans complete US election sweep by securing House​


Facing a conservative Supreme Court and a party increasingly united behind Trump, Democrats will be almost powerless to stop president-elect’s far-reaching policy plans​

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have won enough seats to control the US House, completing the party’s sweep into power and securing their hold on the government alongside President-elect Donald Trump.

A House Republican victory in Arizona, alongside a win in slow-counting California earlier Wednesday, gave the GOP the 218 House victories that make up the majority. Republicans earlier gained control of the Senate from Democrats.

With hard-fought yet thin majorities, Republican leaders are envisioning a mandate to upend the federal government and swiftly implement Trump’s vision for the country.
 
The incoming president has promised to carry out the country’s largest-ever deportation operation, extend tax breaks, punish his political enemies, seize control of the federal government’s most powerful tools and reshape the US economy. The GOP election victories ensure that Congress will be onboard for that agenda, and Democrats will be almost powerless to check it.


When Trump was elected president in 2016, Republicans also swept Congress, but he still encountered Republican leaders resistant to his policy ideas, as well as a Supreme Court with a liberal majority. Not this time.


When he returns to the White House, Trump will be working with a Republican Party that has been completely transformed by his “Make America Great Again” movement and a Supreme Court dominated by conservative justices, including three that he appointed.

Indeed.

I don't think the far left Democratic Socialist loons will be trusted or believed for decades.

Harris lied to the American people. We do not like to be lied to.

She lost on the issues which she rarely addressed and when she did, she flip flopped.

I wonder who would have won a Biden/Trump match-up. Trump was way behind in the polls.

:lolup: Dumb dimwit thinks it was a concrete reinforced wall.

But alas, you leftist morons also claimed the border was secure and Biden was mentally fit. Lying is all you lunatics have these days.

Some of the cabinet picks so far are a pretty good indicator. Loyalty over qualifications, shock value over competence.

I always get a good sense of how much the right really hates government when they're in power.

History has show, Republicans can win elections, but they can’t govern

If your whole campaign is based upon grievances it is difficult to then transition over to addressing problems

Trump governed well enough to win re-election this time, in a landslide.
