Congressional GOP pledges swift action on Trump’s agenda

Mr Trump in his victory speech made shortly after candidate of the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, had called to congratulate him, promised to be a President for all.

Regarding the Middle East, Crichlow said one of the biggest questions will be whether President-elect Trump will back out of the USA commitment to the Iran nuclear deal, which he said could cause nuclear proliferation throughout the region with potentially devastating consequences.

Further, he has also vowed to remove an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the US illegally, as well as cancel visas to countries that refuse to take them back.

The results started coming in after the first of the country’s polls closed at 7. He won Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ohio, likely will win Arizona. Democrats managed to pick up only one GOP-held Senate seat, in IL, a devastating outcome for a party that went into Election Day with high hopes of holding the White House and winning back Senate control. ME is divided into four congressional districts, three of the districts voted for Secretary Clinton where as one district voted for Mr. Trump.

Under Trump’s tax proposal, top earners-taking in more than $699,000 a year-would see average annual tax reductions of about $215,000, according to an analysis by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center.

Nevada represented one of the few Democratic bright spots on Tuesday.

His shaky conservative bona fides, coupled with the fact that Republican royalty like George W. Bush, Mitt Romney and John McCain withheld their endorsements, show that this election transcends partisan politics.

Still, all that seemed like a problem for another day as Trump paid a triumphant visit to Capitol Hill on Thursday after a cordial White House meeting with President Barack Obama.

Republican Assemblyman David Hadley of Torrance lost a rematch against Democrat Al Muratsuchi, while Republicans Eric Linder of Corona and Young Kim of Fullerton were narrowly trailing in two closely watched Assembly races.

New Mexico election officials indicated Wednesday that close results would likely trigger automatic recounts in three legislative races – without affecting the Democrats’ newly won majority in the House of Representatives.

“Which has to be a huge rebuke of the Clinton legacy up there”, Lee said. We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. Jobless skilled tradesmen and struggling working-class families have chosen Donald J. Trump as their champion. We can sit back and watch or make change work. He may turn out to be the most consequential vice president since Dick Cheney. In California, Nevada, and MA, recreational marijuana was legalized. Nebraska eliminated the death penalty. Pat McCrory, who couldn’t shake criticism of the state law limiting protections for gay people. Recall what Democrats did when they won the White House, the Senate and House in 2008.

Elsewhere on the ballot, Republicans were celebrating significant inroads in state executive offices around the country. This election, that anger finally reached a boiling point, fueling the meteoric candidacies of both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. “It’ll be interesting because Democrats can presumably filibuster the nominee, which is what Republicans did to Merrick Garland”.

In what appeared to be a wave election, Republicans also secured majorities they already enjoyed in the Senate and the House and in governor’s mansions and state legislatures across the country.

“You’ve got a situation where the Wolf agenda moving forward for the next two years is not going to be in great shape”, Madonna said.

Surveys may also have relied on outspoken and proud Clinton supporters. Trump scored some of his biggest margins in rural counties, places where the billionaire businessman pulled off a particularly tricky political feat: convincing voters that he alone was able to understand their economic pain. American voters, they reasoned, would prefer Democratic former first lady, senator and secretary of state Hillary Clinton to a political novice leading a deeply divided Republican Party. One student, who chose to remain anonymous, said, “I didn’t vote because I didn’t believe in either candidate”.

That threatened to wipe away key areas of progress highlighted by Democrats under the Obama administration. “She’d have us living in a police state”.

“When I got down to choosing, it felt like picking my poison”, said Kevin O’Brian, a undeclared freshman.

It’s not just Trump’s draconian campaign pledges that stand to be initiated or imposed.
