FOX NewsNOV 2024
After failing Trump the first time they controlled Congress after the 2016 election, the Republican Party has a second chance to enact the legislation Trump and his supporters have been asking for. With Trump backing Speaker Johnson in the House and the Senate setting up their leadership, it's time to draft America First laws and have them waiting for the next president in January.
Despite GOP control of Congress, Trump will likely face legislative challenges due to several factors. Senate Majority Leader Thune's commitment to maintaining the filibuster grants Democrats veto power, complicating Trump's agenda. Additionally, Speaker Johnson's slim House majority and intra-party divisions mean Trump can only guarantee partial support, limiting his ambitions.
There's a 50% chance that either the Democratic or Republican party in the US will cease to exist by 2064, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
