After Republicans secured the 218 votes needed for a majority in the House, Donald Trump has Republican majorities in all of the three branches of government.

Republicans have won enough seats to control the U.S. House, completing the party’s sweep into power and securing their hold on U.S. government alongside President-elect Donald Trump

President-elect Donald Trump's Republican Party will control both houses of Congress when he takes office in January, Edison Research projected on Wednesday, enabling him to push an agenda of slashing taxes and shrinking the federal government.

Republicans officially clinched control of the House of Representatives on Wednesday night, affirming GOP control of both chambers of Congress and the White House. The Associated Press called the contest for Republicans around 10:30 p.

If Republicans keep the House majority, that would give the party control of all three branches of government after the GOP won control of the U.S. Senate and Donald Trump won the presidential election.

It marks a huge boost for President-elect Donald Trump as he seeks to enact his agenda, after Republicans also won control of the Senate last week.
