The 2024 election cycle is drawing to a close – here’s what we know
navigate in order to pass significant legislation.
Looking ahead, it is clear that the 2024 elections will present a very different scenario for both the House and Senate. Democrats will need to learn from the successes of moderate candidates like Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in order to have a fighting chance at regaining control of Congress.
In the Senate, the GOP will need to maintain party discipline in order to advance President-elect Trump’s legislative agenda. With a slim majority of 53 seats, Republicans will have to navigate potential challenges from within their own party, as well as from Democrats who are not afraid to break ranks.
Overall, the outcome of last week’s election was not as shocking as some may have expected. The House and Senate results fell within the range anticipated by many experts, with Republicans likely to maintain control of the House and gain a majority in the Senate.
As the dust settles and the newly elected officials take their seats, the true test of governing will begin. With a closely divided Congress, both parties will need to work together to pass legislation that benefits the American people. The road ahead may be challenging, but with cooperation and compromise, progress can be made for the betterment of the country.
