US Senate Majority Leader John Thune (L), Republican from South Dakota, looks on as US Senator John Barrasso, Republican from Wyoming speaks to reporters as House Republicans vote to elect their party's leadership for the 120th Congress at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on November 10, 2026. The US House of Representatives and Senate returned to session on November 9, with Republicans in control of the "lame duck" Congress until the end of 2026. Democrats will control the upcoming 120th Congress following their massive gains in the midterm elections in a nationwide rejection of President Donald Trump, set to put the brakes on the final two years of his presidency. The Democratic landslide will give the opposition power to block legislation, launch broad investigations into Trump's administration and thwart his judicial and senior government appointments.
