US President-elect Donald Trump now has full control of the US government, with Republicans holding both the House and Senate. This "trifecta" gives Trump the power to push key promises, like deporting migrants, raising tariffs, and removing environmental laws. However, the Senate's rules still require 60 votes for many bills, meaning Trump will need some Democratic support. Not all Republicans align fully with him, as shown when the Senate chose John Thune over Trump’s preferred leader, Rick Scott. With two years to act before the next election, Trump is expected to push his agenda hard to make lasting changes.
