Trump transition kicks into gear
by TheHill.com
Two days after President-elect Trump’s resounding victory, Republicans are putting the wheels in motion to take power come January, both at the White House and in Congress.
Meanwhile, Democrats are trading blame and try to regroup after the loss.
President Biden is set to address the nation from the Rose Garden on Thursday morning, with his first public comments on the election.
A majority in the Senate, possibly a commanding one, will strengthen Trump’s hand in getting his agenda through. But first, the leadership of that chamber will come up for a vote, and the competition between John Thune (R-S.D.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) is reaching fever pitch.
Control of the House remains undecided, but that has not stopped House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and his leadership team from asking for his conference’s support to stay in power.
Follow along here all day for post-election updates.
