The 119th United States Congress is the current term of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It convened on January 3, 2025, during the final 17 days of Joe Biden's presidency, and the first two years of Donald Trump's second presidency.

Following the 2024 elections, the Republican Party retained its slim majority in the House, won the majority in the Senate, and with Trump's second inauguration on January 20, 2025, have an overall federal government trifecta for the first time since the 115th Congress in 2017, which was in session during Trump's first term.

The 119th Congress features the slimmest majority in the House for any party since the 72nd Congress in 1931, and the first openly transgender member of Congress in history (Representative Sarah McBride of Delaware).[1][2]

History

Background

[edit]

In the 2024 elections, the Republican Party retained control of the House of Representatives and gained control of the Senate, while Republican candidate Donald Trump won the presidential elections, securing a second non-consecutive term.[3] The results of the election were attributed to economic conditions of voters[a] and concerns over immigration, particularly the Mexico–United States border crisis.[b] In a leadership election for the Senate Republican Conference to succeed senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who stated he would not run in February,[8] senator John Thune of South Dakota was elected Senate Majority Leader amid opposition from senators John Cornyn of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida,[9] favored by Trump's allies.[10] Thune's accession signaled the Senate's refusal to break from establishment figures, though he previously reassured senators that he would largely support Trump's policies.[11] Trump's announced nominees, including then-representative Matt Gaetz as attorney general, posed questions within the Senate Republican majority[12] as Trump requested to use recess appointments—subverting the role of the Senate—and to forgo background checks on his nominees.[13]

The House assumed a 219–215 majority, a reduced margin from the majority in the 118th Congress.[14] The Senate assumed a 53–47 majority from a 51–49 minority in the 118th Congress.[c]

Several House committee chairs were selected ahead of the swearing-in of members. Representative Tim Walberg of Michigan was elected chair of the Committee on Education and the Workforce,[15] representative Brett Guthrie of Kentucky was elected chair of the Committee on Energy and Commerce,[16] representative French Hill (politician) of Arkansas was elected chair of the Committee on Financial Services,[17] representative Brian Mast of Florida was elected chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,[18] and representative Brian Babin of Texas was elected chair of the Committee on Science, Space and Technology.[19] House Democrats moved to elect representative Jared Huffman of California as the ranking member of the Committee on Natural Resources and representative Angie Craig of Minnesota as the ranking member of the Committee on Agriculture.[20] Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York lost to representative Gerry Connolly of Virginia to lead the Democrats on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform,[21] while representative Jerry Nadler of New York resigned from the Committee on the Judiciary, allowing representative Jamie Raskin to succeed him.[22]

Swearing-in and first session

[edit]

The 119th Congress began at 12 p.m. EST on January 3, 2025, following the adjournment of the 118th Congress.[23] The Senate began with Vice President Kamala Harris swearing in senators.[24] West Virginia Governor Jim Justice was sworn in on January 14 due to the state's constitution creating issues of succession.[25] The House began with a quorum call, in which representative Hank Johnson of Georgia was not present.[26] After the acting clerk of the House announced that Gaetz would not serve despite being re-elected, the House floor cheered.[27] Leading up to an election to elect the speaker of the House, incumbent representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana's bid appeared uncertain amid opposition from the Freedom Caucus despite an endorsement from Trump.[28] Johnson was re-elected after initially not receiving enough votes to be re-elected; Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky voted for Tom Emmer, while Keith Self of Texas and Ralph Norman of South Carolina voted for other representatives until they switched their votes for Johnson.[29]

On January 6, the House and the Senate convened a joint session to count the electoral votes received by Trump and Harris. The certification occurred amid a storm complex and four years after the January 6 Capitol attack, in which supporters of Trump entered the Capitol and disrupted the certification of Joe Biden's Electoral College votes. In response to the attack and Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Congress passed a revision to the Electoral Count Act preventing the vice president from altering the results.[30]
