President-elect Donald Trump has loomed large over House Republicans this year. Though the GOP has blamed any intraparty friction on the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House, Trump is already giving a preview as to how he will dominate Congress in 2025.

Over the last year, House Republican leadership under Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has needed to balance not only the wishes of their own members but also the commands from the president-elect. Combined with a razor-thin majority, this has made passing GOP-approved legislation along party lines difficult and at times impossible.
