News summary

The Republican Party has secured control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, providing President-elect Donald Trump with a unified government to advance his agenda. The GOP maintained its majority in the House with at least 218 seats and flipped the Senate by capturing several Democratic-held seats. Despite Democratic gains in states like California and New York, Republicans gained ground in others, including Pennsylvania and Michigan. This political shift positions Trump to push through significant policies, including tax cuts and immigration reforms, with minimal opposition. However, narrow margins in both chambers may pose challenges for passing contentious legislation. The transition also sees shifts in leadership, with John Thune nominated to succeed Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader.
