"This leadership team will immediately get to work implementing President-elect Trump's agenda in the 119th Congress, we will work closely with him and his administration to turn this country around and usher in a new golden age in America," said US House Speaker Mike Johnson. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries also acknowledged that the Democrats did not win in this agency. Mr. Jeffries stated: "House Democrats have worked hard, conducted positive campaigns, looked to the future and focused on the people. Although we did not regain control of Congress in January, just a few seats short, the Democrats will only give Republicans a narrow majority in the House of Representatives."

Republican control of both houses of Congress will enable Donald Trump to push through an agenda that could profoundly change America, including tariffs, immigration and trade.

On the same day, House Speaker Mike Johnson was also nominated by the Republican Party to continue holding his current position. "It's a beautiful morning in Washington and a new day for America. This is a very, very important moment for the country," Mr. Johnson said.
