If the GOP retains control, it would give them unified control of government\u2014but if Democrats win the majority, they will be able to stall some of Trump\u2019s legislative agenda.

Democrats secured a Senate majority in 2021, later solidifying that number in 2023. The period of a divided Congress since has been marred by Republican infighting and lessened productivity\u2014partly due to Congress\u2019 partisan split and partly because of the GOP\u2019s narrow majority, which allows a tiny number of lawmakers to control the fate of legislation. In October 2023, Republicans and Democrats voted for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/10\/04\/1203462629\/kevin-mccarthy-speaker-matt-gaetz-congress-vote\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/10\/04\/1203462629\/kevin-mccarthy-speaker-matt-gaetz-congress-vote\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/10\/04\/1203462629\/kevin-mccarthy-speaker-matt-gaetz-congress-vote\" aria-label=\"first ouster\">first ouster<\/a> of the House speaker in history, driving out then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., an action led by hard-right Trump ally Rep.

That year, the House also struggled to pass legislation, passing 27 bills after voting 724 times.
