Four big things the winners of Congress will have to tackle in 2025
Control of the House and Senate are up for grabs in Tuesday's 2024 elections, with the next Congress facing key deadlines on taxes, health care, government funding and the debt ceiling.
WASHINGTON — As voters head to the polls for Tuesday's elections, they will also be electing a new Congress. And whichever party wins control of the House and Senate will get to decide how to handle a slew of consequential policy matters.
Whether it’s expiring tax cuts and health care subsidies, another round of government funding or must-pass measures like a debt limit extension and a new farm bill, Congress will have its hands full.
And the next president — Donald Trump or Kamala Harris — along with the new Congress will set the agenda.
Here are four big things the 119th Congress will have to tackle.
Major parts of Trump’s 2017 tax law totaling $3.3 trillion will expire at the end of 2025. And the question of what gets extended under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — and what is allowed to expire — depends on which party wins this election.
