Trump's final window to push agenda before Congress shifts

President Trump has roughly two months left to advance his agenda before a Democratic-majority Congress takes over on January 3, 2027, with the current session starting today. Republicans, who lost control of both chambers, plan to pass key legislation including additional Iran war funding, defense authorization, next year's government budget, and farm/food aid programs. Trump can also act without Congress on tariffs, visa rules, housing, and spending, while Democrats will gain oversight powers to investigate his administration and challenge his policies.
