Trump's Republicans are set to gain control of Congress, pushing an agenda of tax cuts, border security, and deregulation. However, their plan could add trillions to the national debt, challenging their goal of reducing the $35 trillion deficit.
Donald Trump’s Republicans are likely to take control of both chambers of Congress, giving them power to push a broad agenda of tax cuts, energy deregulation, and border security. However, this could conflict with their goal of reducing the $35 trillion debt. Republicans secured a 52-48 Senate majority and are expanding their House lead, though 51 races remain uncalled.
Key priorities include extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, funding the border wall, and reducing the power of agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Trump’s tax proposals could add $7.5 trillion to the debt over the next decade. The deficit hit $1.833 trillion in 2024, with interest on debt topping $1 trillion.
Republicans argue that Trump’s previous tax cuts boosted revenue, aiming to replicate early-term economic growth. However, critics, like Marc Goldwein from the CRFB, say the increase in tax receipts is driven by inflation and does not reflect actual growth.
