		</div><p>The Republican Party has won enough seats to control the US House, completing the party’s sweep into power and securing their hold on the American government alongside president-elect Donald Trump.</p>
<p>A House Republican victory in Arizona, alongside a win in slow-counting California earlier on Wednesday, gave the Republicans the 218 House victories that make up the majority.</p>
<p>The Republicans have also gained control of the Senate from the Democrats.</p>
<figure id="attachment_184868" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-184868" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6859.webp" alt="" width="640" height="427" class="size-full wp-image-184868" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-184868" class="wp-caption-text">President-elect Donald Trump</figcaption></figure>
<p>With hard-fought, yet thin majorities, Republican leaders are envisioning a mandate to upend the federal government and swiftly implement Mr Trump’s vision for the country.</p>
<p>The incoming president has promised to carry out the country’s largest-ever deportation operation, extend tax breaks, punish his political enemies, seize control of the federal government’s most powerful tools and reshape the US economy.</p>
<p>The Republican election victories ensure that Congress will be onboard for that agenda, and the Democrats will be almost powerless to check it.</p>
<p>When Mr Trump was first elected president in 2016, the Republican Party also swept Congress</p>
<p>Despite that, Mr Trump still encountered Republican leaders resistant to his policy ideas, as well as a Supreme Court with a liberal majority. Not this time.</p>
<p>When he returns to the White House, Mr Trump will be working with a Republican Party that has been completely transformed by his Make America Great Again movement and a Supreme Court dominated by conservative justices, including three that he appointed.</p>
<p>Mr Trump rallied House Republicans at a Capitol Hill hotel on Wednesday morning, marking his first return to Washington since the election.</p>
<p>“I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s good, we got to figure something else,’” Mr Trump said to the room full of politicians, who laughed in response.</p>
<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson, who, with Mr Trump’s endorsement won the Republican Conference’s nomination to stay on as speaker next year, has talked of taking a “blowtorch” to the federal government and its programmes, eyeing ways to overhaul even popular programmes championed by the Democrats in recent years.</p>
<p>The Louisiana Republican, an ardent conservative, has pulled the House Republican Conference closer to Mr Trump during the campaign season as they prepare an “ambitious” 100-day agenda.</p>
<p>“Republicans in the House and Senate have a mandate,” Mr Johnson said earlier this week.</p>
<p>“The American people want us to implement and deliver that ‘America First’ agenda.”</p>
<p>Mr Trump’s allies in the House are already signalling they will seek retribution for the legal troubles he faced while out of office.</p>
<p>The incoming president on Wednesday said he would nominate Matt Gaetz, a fierce loyalist, for attorney general.</p>
<p>On Thursday Mr Trump announced Doug Collins, a former congressman from Georgia, as his choice to run the Department of Veterans Affairs.</p>
<p>“We must take care of our brave men and women in uniform,” Mr Trump said in a statement.</p>
<p>Mr Collins is a chaplain in the US Air Force Reserve Command.</p>
<p>The Republican served in Congress from 2013 to 2021, and he helped defend Mr Trump during his first impeachment process.</p>
