Hill Republicans have ambitious legislative plans for the first months of total GOP control of government under President-elect Trump, with a sweeping tax package at the top of the to-do list.
While Republicans are not yet officially projected to win enough seats to secure the House, it looks likely that they will keep a slim majority.

Here are the GOP’s top legislative priorities under Trump
Hill Republicans have ambitious legislative plans for the first months of total GOP control of government under President-elect Trump, with a sweeping tax package at the top of the to-do list.
While Republicans are not yet officially projected to win enough seats to secure the House, it looks likely that they will keep a slim majority.

Where is the land of opportunity voters were promised? Not in Trump’s America.
There is little mystery about why Donald Trump won the election last week. After billions of dollars in campaign spending by the two major-party candidates, it mostly came down to the price of a loaf of bread.
According to exit polls, two-thirds of voters were unhappy with the economy, and 69 percent voted for Trump.
Weeks before the election, The Economist issued a glowing assessment of America's economy, calling it breathtaking, stellar and the envy of the...
Large Senate GOP majority strengthens Trump’s hand
Republicans have at least a 52-seat Senate majority and are looking to expand it to 54 seats, as GOP candidates are leading the vote counts in Pennsylvania and Nevada. Such a cushion would strengthen Donald Trump's hand as he fills a Cabinet and other executive and judicial branch positions.
A narrower Senate GOP majority would have put a lot of power in the hands of Republican moderates who didn't support Trump, namely Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Main...

Warren calls for pressing forward, taking ‘opportunities to fight back’
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called on Democrats to press ahead and take “opportunities to fight back” despite President-elect Trump’s triumph in the 2024 U.S. presidential election against Vice President Harris.
“Right now, Donald Trump won an election, and the consequences will be real and devastating, but I'm reminding myself and you that on the road ahead, there will still be opportunities to fight back,” Warren said in a video released Wednesday.

Pelosi clinches landmark 20th House term
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will return to Congress next year for a landmark 20th term, Decision Desk HQ projects.
The San Francisco liberal easily won reelection on Tuesday in California’s deep-blue 11th District, dismissing a nominal challenge by Republican Bruce Lou, a former "Jeopardy!" champion, who likened Democrats to communists.
Pelosi was already a historic figure heading into the current Congress. She was the first woman to ascend to the House Spea...

What’s at stake for health care this election
Voters head to the polls Tuesday to cast ballots in an election with significant consequences for health care.
A victory for Vice President Harris will likely mean the continuation and strengthening of many of the Biden administration’s efforts to increase access to care and decrease costs.
A second Trump presidency could mean significant changes to the healthcare system, though Trump has been vague about his plans.

Don’t let Trump drag America ‘back to before’
In the powerful revival of the musical “Ragtime” at the New York City Center theater, the female lead, played by Caissie Levy, stops the show with a song titled “Back to Before.” With words filled with emotion in each phrase, she sings of the pain of making progress in a deeply divided and bigoted turn-of-the-century America. As I absorbed the song, I could not help but think of Donald Trump and the corrupt message he has brought in the election.
Trump is, of course, a man wit...
