Why the clock is already ticking on the new GOP congressional majority

^{Published on 2025-01-07 14:00:39 - CNN}

The Republican Congress that began its first full week of work on Monday is already operating on borrowed time - unless the GOP can defy one of the most powerful patterns of recent US politics.

The article from CNN, published on January 7, 2025, discusses the implications of the Republican Party achieving a "trifecta" in the U.S. Congress, where they control both the House and the Senate, alongside Donald Trump's presidency. This political alignment has led to significant shifts in legislative priorities, with a focus on tax cuts, deregulation, and conservative judicial appointments. The piece analyzes how this majority could influence policy-making, potentially leading to the reversal of some Biden-era policies, and examines the challenges Democrats face in this new political landscape. It also touches on the internal dynamics within the GOP, highlighting tensions between Trump loyalists and more traditional Republicans, and speculates on how this might affect governance and future elections.
