Exiting GOP bullish it will have full control of government soon

Republicans are leaving Washington projecting confidence about their chances of returning to the Capitol in November knowing they’ll have full control of government in 2025. 

Republicans in their final legislative days before heading home for the final weeks of a frantic campaign said they are confident the House GOP will retain its majority and that former President Trump, who is locked in a tight race with Vice President Harris, will emerge victorious.

If anything, Republicans are even more confident about their path to a Senate majority, given the difficult map for Democrats that has them defending several seats in states Trump is nearly certain to win.

“I’m very confident about this. I believe we’re going to keep and grow the House majority, win the Senate and win the White House as well, and we’re going to put Donald Trump back in the office,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said during a press conference this week.
