"Stay tuned. Buckle up," said Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., capturing the mood on Capitol Hill.
Trump's agenda for the next four years—extending tax cuts, slashing government size, increasing tariffs, and cracking down on illegal immigration—will require congressional support.
But with slim Republican majorities in the House and Senate, the challenges are evident.
