Control
Good morning and welcome to White House Watch. I'm Steff Chávez, the FT's Washington reporter. Let’s dive into:
Donald Trump took a victory lap through Washington yesterday, meeting Joe Biden and relishing Republicans’ impending grip on power.
The president-elect’s hold on Washington is complete. Last night Republican lawmakers secured a majority in the House , giving them control of both chambers of Congress. With loyal allies in the House and Senate, Trump will have a firmer grasp on Congress than in his first term and latitude to push through his legislative priorities.?[free to read].?
A top aim will be renewing and expanding the sweeping tax reforms Trump enacted during his first term. He also wants to curb regulation, overhaul healthcare, carry out “mass deportations” of undocumented migrants and slap huge tariffs on imported goods.
Yesterday, the president-elect gave Speaker of the House Mike Johnson a ringing endorsement, calling for the fierce Trump ally to keep his gavel should the chamber be called for Republicans.
But this doesn’t mean it will be completely smooth sailing for Trump. . . . Register for the FT to keep reading the newsletter for free .

5 天前focusing on these first 100 days, we are already see that the Donals has nor interest nor close how his cabinet operates. He is just handing out any open job to random people who are not qualified nor vetted to professionally handle this job. But like a good God, he has assured they are all NOT smarter than Trump himself so they can easily be fired. Why does he repeatedly do this? His last nightmare administration was the same unqualified chaos.
