Trump's Agenda Faces Challenges as GOP Secures Unified Control in Washington

Speaker Mike Johnson retains his gavel after contentious vote, setting the stage for a narrow Republican majority to navigate Trump's ambitious legislative goals.

• Mike Johnson was re-elected as Speaker of the House after overcoming internal GOP opposition, with Republicans holding the narrowest House majority in nearly a century.
• President-elect Donald Trump played a decisive role in securing Johnson's leadership, signaling his influence over the party's direction ahead of his second term in office.
• House Republicans are planning to use the budget reconciliation process to advance key Trump administration priorities, including tax cuts, border security, and spending reductions, without Democratic support.
• Tensions within the GOP remain high, as conservative lawmakers demand significant spending cuts and procedural changes to ensure transparency and accountability in legislative processes.
• Democrats have criticized the Republican agenda, warning of potential cuts to social programs and tax breaks for the wealthy, while pledging to fight for working families and protect key public services.
