GOP Faces Challenges with Slim House Majority Amidst Trump Influence
TL;DR Summary
The House GOP faces a challenging math problem as Democrats flip the final House seat of the 2024 elections, narrowing the Republican majority to 220-215. This slim margin complicates efforts to advance President-elect Donald Trump's agenda, especially with potential resignations of GOP members for Cabinet positions. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth, Trump's controversial pick for defense secretary, vows to continue his nomination fight despite allegations against him. Additionally, President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter has sparked criticism and concerns about setting new precedents in presidential pardons.
