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 last weeks 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 though the party lost 2 seats in the election and thus ended up with a 5-seat majority instead of its previous 9-seat majority. The Republican Party also won a 3-seat majority in the Senate after winning 4 seats in the 2024 elections. With Trump's second inauguration on January 20, 2025, the Republican Party has an overall federal government trifecta for the first time since the 115th Congress (2017–2019), which was in session during Trump's first term.[1]
The 119th Congress features the slimmest majority in the House for any party since the 72nd Congress (1931–1933), and the first openly transgender member of Congress in history (Representative Sarah McBride of Delaware).[2][3] It also featured the fewest split Senate delegations since the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment which established the direct election of U.S. Senators.[4][a]
