Republicans gain trifecta control as Trump shapes agenda through party negotiations

Donald Trump’s recent electoral success has led to a Republican trifecta, giving the party control of the presidency and both chambers of Congress. This shift will likely result in significant intra-party negotiations to shape his agenda. Trump's victory also allows him to delay federal charges against him, impacting his legal situation. Meanwhile, ballot measures indicate a strong public interest in voting reform and criminal justice issues. The election results show that Democrats faced challenges in statehouse races, highlighting a growing divide in American politics. Polls underestimated Trump’s support, suggesting a need for Democrats to reassess their strategies.
