This is your RNC News podcast.

The US Republican Party has been in the spotlight following the 2024 presidential and congressional elections. Former President Donald Trump secured an electoral victory with 312 electoral college votes, surpassing Vice President Kamala Harris’s 226 votes. This win, combined with the Republicans gaining control of the Senate and potentially retaining the majority in the House, sets a favorable landscape for Trump to implement his policy agenda.

In the Senate, Republicans gained four seats, including the contentious Pennsylvania seat previously held by Democrat Bob Casey. Despite some competitive races, such as Senator Tammy Baldwin's successful defense of her Wisconsin seat, the Republicans will hold a 53-47 majority in the 119th Congress.

In the House, Republicans currently hold 214 seats, just shy of the 218 needed for a majority, while Democrats hold 205 seats. Several key races remain undecided but are leaning towards the Republicans, which could result in the White House and both chambers being under Republican control.

President-elect Trump has begun announcing his top staff picks and cabinet members. Russ Vought, who previously served as the Office of Management and Budget director in Trump's first administration, has been named to the same role again. Vought was also involved in writing the conservative Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, a detailed blueprint for sweeping changes in the executive branch.

For the position of Attorney General, Trump initially nominated Rep. Matt Gaetz, but Gaetz withdrew his name due to ongoing investigations into his conduct. Trump then nominated Pam Bondi, the former attorney general of Florida and a staunch Trump ally, to fill the role.

The 2024 Republican Party Platform outlines several key policy stances, including securing the border, deporting illegal aliens, and reversing Democratic open border policies. The platform also emphasizes restoring peace through strength, reducing geopolitical risks, and lowering commodity prices. Additionally, it includes strict vetting of immigrants and the elimination of sanctuary cities.

Project 2025, a blueprint supported by some within the Republican Party, proposes significant changes to various federal agencies and policies. This includes dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and abolishing the Department of Education, reducing environmental and climate change regulations, and instituting tax cuts. The project also advocates for cutting Medicare and Medicaid, rejecting abortion as healthcare, and eliminating coverage of emergency contraception.

These developments highlight the Republican Party's commitment to its core policies and its preparations for the upcoming legislative session, where they aim to implement these changes with their newfound majorities in Congress.
