NC lame-duck session: What's at stake as Democrats prepare to take House
Republicans are weighing veto overrides and appointment changes as Democrats prepare to take control of the House, with one override likely needing an unaffiliated vote.
- On Wednesday, Incoming House Minority Whip Tom Emmer warned Democrats against complacency, vowing Republicans will hold them accountable daily and target dozens of districts President Donald Trump carried in 2024.
- Following the November 3 midterm elections, Republicans regrouped in the minority, prompting leadership changes in which Emmer retained his post after defeating Representative August Pfluger of Texas 103-76.
- Emmer criticized Democratic health care rhetoric as 'government-only health care,' while Republicans targeted 39 congressional districts Democrats won that Trump carried in 2024 by at least 5 percentage points.
- GOP lawmakers are weighing new conference rules to discipline 'maverick' holdouts who challenge party leadership, Politico reported Friday, citing six people who spoke on condition of anonymity.
- The 120th Congress convenes January 3, 2027, yet Emmer told Democrats to enjoy their 'honeymoon phase,' warning they will regret their ballot choices once Republicans regain power.
