The GOP secured narrow majorities in both chambers in the 2024 elections, with at least 52 seats in the Senate and 218 in the House .

But even with unified party control of government, approving a president's agenda is no easy feat.

Some of Trump 's Cabinet nominees are making waves across the political sphere, prompting questions.

The first 100 days of a president's term have historically been a yardstick to measure the new leader's governing ability.

Roosevelt had massive majorities in the House and Senate , paired with large Electoral College and popular vote victories.

The dynamics are different as Trump prepares for his second term, with the party more unified behind him.
