Republicans Ensure Full Control in Washington

Understanding between the White House and Congress is possible, though Trump must even convince his own classmates.

Congress of the United States.

In addition to the presidency, the Republican Party led by Donald Trump has managed to retain control both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, which theoretically guarantees them not only to carry out the political measures they want, but to repeal initiatives promoted during these years By Barack Obama.
In the United States elections, Republicans have secured 235 seats in the House of Representatives, 17 above the majority and far ahead of the 191 who have joined the Democrats.
Polls indicated that the House of Representatives would remain under Republican control, so that the most painful legislative defeat for the Democrats has come in the Senate, renewed by a third.
Republicans have barely suffered defeats in the Senate and have won at least 51 seats, which guarantees them a comfortable setting for the next two years and leaves them well positioned for the 2018 election.
The new Congress will meet on January 3, but next week will hold the first meetings to determine the leadership of the two chambers. For his part, Senator Mitch McConnel is guaranteed continuity as leader of the Republican majority in the Upper House.

Absolute Control
"A Republican president, a Republican Senate and a Republican House can do things to change this country," Senator Roy Blunt celebrated during election night.
For the past eight years the division has grown between White House and Congressional policies. The Democratic Party stayed in 2014 without control of the two chambers, prompting Barack Obama to rely on decrees to pass key issues such as immigration reform.
Now, it seems that there will be an understanding between the executive and legislative branches, although Trump must even convince his own comrades to carry out some of his most controversial measures.
