<p>The Republican Party has won enough seats to control the US House, securing a hold on the American government. A report by the news agency Associated Press on Thursday (Nov 14) said that a House Republican victory in Arizona, alongside a win in slow-counting California earlier Wednesday, gave the GOP the 218 House victories that make up the majority.</p>

<p>Republicans had earlier gained control of the Senate from Democrats. The report said that with hard-fought yet thin majorities, Republicans are now envisioning a mandate to upend the federal government and swiftly implement President-elect Donald Trump's vision for the country.</p>

<p>Trump has made several promises including extending tax breaks, carrying out the country's largest-ever deportation operation, and reshaping the economy. The GOP election wins ensure that Congress would be onboard for these agendas, and the Democratic Party would be almost powerless to check it.&nbsp;</p>
