As the 118th Congress comes to a close at the end of 2024, Washington wraps up remaining “must pass” business and looks forward to the rollout of the new administration. The 2024 election on November 4 signaled a change in direction for the country. The leadership shifted from Democratic in the White House and in the Senate to Republican control. The House of Representatives remains in Republican control, but in tighter margins than in this Congress. The Republican Party now controls both the executive and legislative branches of the federal government. This unexpected outcome — pundits did not expect the House to stay in Republican control — will strengthen the efforts of the incoming Trump administration on issues like taxes, trade, energy, immigration and a raft of social issues.
