Governors Safeguarding Democracy was announced as a "nonpartisan alliance of governors that works together to uphold and fortify American democracy."

Donald Trump and his Republican Party have an ambitious agenda and control of US Congress. Trump has said he will "make heads spin" as he moves full-speed ahead after his inauguration on 20 January. His team has said to expect a flurry of executive orders - directives from the US president - out of the Oval Office in the first week.

President-elect Donald Trump is quickly announcing plans for an emboldened new administration. Some choices are already raising eyebrows, but it's unclear if any of the choices will face pushback in the U.

Republicans have won enough seats to control the U.S. House of Representatives, completing the party's sweep into power and securing their hold on U.S. government alongside president-elect Donald Trump.

Republicans have won both the House and the Senate, giving the GOP total control over Congress for at least the next two years and creating a friendly path for President-elect Donald Trump's priorities.

President-elect Trump now has a clear path to enact his agenda and fill out his administration with both the House and Senate in Republican hands come January.
