Biden to address nation after Trump's election victory as House control remains uncertain

gazette.com

President Joe Biden will address the nation for the first time since Donald Trump won the presidency, defeating Kamala Harris. Control of the U.S. House of Representatives remains uncertain, with both parties vying for a majority as races are still being decided. Trump's victory means he will form a new administration, distinct from his previous term. He has a 75-day transition period to appoint around 4,000 positions, with many requiring Senate confirmation, now easier with Republican control. Key House races are still too close to call, particularly in California and Nevada, where significant ballots remain uncounted. The outcome could shift the balance of power in Congress, impacting Trump's second-term agenda.
