Republicans complete power takeover with US House of Representatives majority

This Republican team is united behind President Trump's agenda, and our work starts today,

Thune, who represents South Dakota, said in a brief statement -- revealing later that

It is a beautiful morning in Washington. It is a new day in America,

said House Speaker Mike Johnson, who held a press conference to celebrate victory Tuesday before the result was official

We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY!"

Trump wrote on the X social media network on Sunday, referring to the need for the Republican-majority Senate to quickly approve his cabinet picks

Steve Scalisehouse Majority Leader

We have an agenda we've been planning for the first 100 days, ... to lower food costs, to lower energy costs, to secure America's border, to get this economy moving again, so those families who have been struggling can finally get back on their feet."

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told reporters

The American people made it clear they wanted a change of direction, and so they’ve given us an opportunity for unified government, and we got a chance now to try to turn things around,

Hudson said

The last two years are a good example. They also had narrow majorities. We think we’ve done a good job of stopping a really a lot of really bad things. And so I think we’re going have to be using that same strategy,

Sounds like — the first three months, they’re not gonna be able to do anything if they’ve got two people going to the administration,

Pocan said, while urging Democrats to remember

You reap what you sow. So think about what you want to do,

said a senior House Republican aide, who sought anonymity to vent candidly

To truly make America great again, we will need to begin delivering for the people on day one. In preparation, we have worked diligently for the past year to be ready with a priority list of key conservative policy wins that we can achieve together with our Senate Republican colleagues, working hand-in-hand with the new Trump Administration,

Johnson wrote in a letter to his colleagues

If there’s unified government … if we have a bicameral approach — Republicans in both chambers working together to develop that agenda and implement it, and President Trump is guiding the way — I think you will certainly have a lot less dissension in the ranks on our side,

Johnson said in an interview with NBC News at a Pennsylvania campaign stop before the election

I think everybody’s going to want to be a part of that majority that is solving the problems of the country,

the speaker added

I suspect I won't be running again unless you do something else, unless you say he's so good we've got to figure something out,

he told a gathering of House Republicans ahead of their closed-door leadership elections in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday

We won, which is great because Republicans aren't supposed to be winning the majority."

Trump went on

It's nice to win. It's always nice to win. A lot of good friends in this room. So, you know, we had, like, historic kind of numbers, especially for the president,

Trump said

The Congressional negotiations over this package will be complex, so there will absolutely be wrinkles we don't expect here. But we think the hefty price tag for extending expiring individual tax provisions past EOY25 will sharply limit how much incremental tax cutting Republicans can do, and will compel them to include some real offsets despite reluctance from some parts of their coalition,

Marcus wrote in a research note Tuesday

The narrow margins will make this more difficult, especially given the number of Congressional Republicans with IRA-funded projects in their districts,

the analyst said

In 2025, Trump's influence on Congressional Republicans will be stronger but his margin in the House will be in the single digits (down from 47 in 2017). … The narrow House majority will complicate the passage of any tax bill in 2025,

he said

If our race callers cannot definitively say a candidate has won, we do not engage in speculation,

I talk to all my colleagues, and they are clear what they want and know we need to change. They want to be treated as equals, want to be part of a team. They know I have a great relationship with Trump and the speaker of the House, and I am a business guy. And I will get the Trump agenda done,

Scott said
