U.S. House ushers in a tiny Republican majority to tackle enormous tasks in 2025

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : Incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., is pushing for breaking it up into two bills in hopes of getting a quick victory on giving Trump more border security funding before bringing up another party-line measure later this year to extend Trump's tax cuts ahead of their expiration on the last day of 2025.
32% : Last month's drawn-out fight over a short-term bill to prevent a government shutdown just punted the deadline to March 14, less than two months after Trump takes the oath of office.
26% : Johnson's majority is poised to shrink even further in the coming weeks, with Trump announcing he'll pluck two House Republicans to serve in his administration -- Michael Waltz of Florida to be national security adviser and Elise Stefanik of New York to be United Nations ambassador.
