Challenges Loom for GOP's Narrow House Majority and Trump's Agenda
TL;DR
The U.S. House of Representatives is facing a potential razor-thin Republican majority as five House races remain uncalled, with Democrats having a chance to flip key seats in California. Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for attorney general is controversial due to Gaetz's legal issues and potential Senate opposition. Additionally, Speaker Mike Johnson has banned transgender women from using women's bathrooms in the House, sparking debate on Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trump also announced Matthew Whitaker as the U.S. ambassador to NATO.
