119th United States Congress

The 119th United States Congress is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It convened on January 3, 2025, for the last 17 days of Joe Biden's presidency and continued during the first two years of Donald Trump's second presidency.

Following the 2024 elections, the Republican Party retained its slim majority in the House of Representatives (albeit with losing two net seats to end up with a three-seat majority). The Republican Party also won a three-seat majority in the Senate after winning four net seats. Upon Trump's second inauguration on January 20, 2025, the Republican Party has an overall federal government trifecta for the first time since the 115th Congress (2017–2019), which was in session during Trump's first term.

The 119th Congress features the slimmest majority in the House for any party since the 72nd Congress (1931–1933), and the first openly transgender member of Congress in history, Representative Sarah McBride (D-DE). It also features the fewest split Senate delegations since the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment, which established the direct election of U.S. senators.

Despite a trifecta, the first year of the Congress saw the lowest number of House votes in a nonelection year since the 101st Congress in 1990.
