US House Control Hangs in Balance As Republicans Eye Governing Trifecta | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The race to control the House continues, with dozens of contests yet to be called. Republicans think they'll secure a governing trifecta by holding the House. They say that would give them a mandate to govern and are already talking about a number of priorities they want to accomplish. Representative Mike Lawler says, "Donald Trump has a mandate to govern, to address the issues on the economy, on the border, on public safety and the international crises around the globe, and it looks as though, not only are we going to keep the House, but obviously have flipped the Senate." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says he hopes a Republican-controlled Congress will go back to basics. House Speaker Mike Johnson is so confident Republicans will hold the House, he's already launched his bid to keep his job as speaker.
