The GOP has achieved control of both the Senate and House of Representatives while Donald Trump prepares to take office. This marks a critical shift in US politics.
Historically, once a single party controls the White House and Congress, it rarely remains intact after the midterm elections, leading to a potential power struggle.
The last time a president maintained Congressional control throughout their entire term was Jimmy Carter, but he was ultimately voted out in the next election.
The reality of temporary majorities in Congress means Trump is likely to push through key legislative goals quickly while he has the support.
