The Senate now has 54 Democrats and 2 Independents who caucus with them (source)
The House is 254/173 in favor of the Democrats (+18). (source)
The President elect is a Democrat.
How much power will that party now hold? How quickly can bills be passed? What kind of bills will pass that may not have in the past?
