Republicans have retained control of the House of Representatives. With both chambers of Congress under Republican control, President-elect Donald Trump has a pathway to enact an agenda that could reshape America, including sweeping tax cuts, strict immigration enforcement, and major shifts in domestic and foreign policy. On Wednesday evening, The Associated Press projected Republicans had won at least 218 seats, securing a majority in the lower chamber, with nine House races still uncalled.
Trump has announced his choices for key positions: Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla) as attorney general, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla) as secretary of state, and Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence. All three will need Senate confirmation before assuming the roles.
As Trump prepares to take office, the two federal cases against him come back into the spotlight. For an update on the proceedings overseen by special counsel Jack Smith and the options he has, NTD speaks with Paul Kamenar, lead counsel at the National Legal and Policy Center.
