With the inauguration of President Donald Trump, a Republican trifecta now rules the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House. That balance of power comes with its caveats: a GOP majority in the Senate may secure most of Trump’s cabinet picks. But the tight margins in the House may mean having to use executive orders to push through some policy priorities. Across the aisle, Democrats are re-grouping, and pinning their hopes on clawing back the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms. What’s in store for America’s relationship with other countries like China, Canada, Mexico, Russia, and Ukraine? Will proposed tariffs tank — or bolster business, trade, and the economy? And how might the nation’s healthcare legislation shift under a Republican budget?
