After US election
Republicans in Washington greet Trump with applause
Trump returns to the US capital after the election. There he first pays a visit to leading Republicans from Congress. He hopes for a good cooperation.
US President-elect Donald Trump returned to Washington after his election victory and met with leading Republicans from Congress. Trump was greeted with applause by his party colleagues near the Capitol and praised the party’s success in a short speech. Trump was also accompanied by tech billionaire Elon Musk, whom he wants to commission to cut government spending and reduce bureaucracy.
The Republicans secured a majority in the Senate in last week’s election. It is still unclear whether the Republicans will also have the say in the other chamber of Parliament, the House of Representatives, in the future. But it could be good. The chairman of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, was very optimistic on Tuesday and said that the Republicans in Parliament had received a clear mandate. They will get started immediately to implement “President Trump’s agenda”.
“He’s the king of the comeback,” Johnson said before Trump’s arrival. “We owe him a huge debt of gratitude.” After his visit to Congress, Trump was to be received by US President Joe Biden at the White House. Trump will be sworn in for his second term as head of state on January 20th.
