Republicans clinch control of the House, tax package could happen relatively quickly in 2025
Republicans are poised to maintain control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the new year, as the Associated Press (AP) has called enough House races in their favor. This GOP victory in the battle for House control completes a sweep in this month’s elections, following contentious campaigns focused on high inflation, immigration, tariffs, abortion rights, and democracy. The AP declared Republicans had secured a Senate majority on Election Night, on November 5, and called the White House race for Donald Trump in the early hours of November 6.
