Briefings

Following the 2024 midterms, the US Congress lost its Republican majority, leaving Democrats without a legislative majority. The president retains significant executive power, but Congress lacks the authority to override the veto or pass legislation without a joint session. This structural shift means Democrats must rely on executive orders and party discipline to advance policy, creating a new dynamic for governance.

Key points

• The US Congress lost its Republican majority in both chambers after the 2024 midterms.
• The president retains significant executive power despite the loss of congressional majority.

Context

This briefing addresses the immediate political landscape following the 2024 US elections, where the Republican party lost its majority in both chambers of the US Congress. The president still has a lot of power, and the Democrats have yet to agree on how best to use theirs.
