Under Ryan, House Republicans are expected to prioritize repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and in the Senate, Republicans will likely vote to confirm the incoming President’s cabinet nominees and a replacement Justice on the Supreme Court.
Congressional Republicans will also debate Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election, an issue the President-elect says he wants to “move on” from. However, Ryan has taken a tougher stance on Russia, claiming that the Obama administration’s recent sanctions against Russia were “long overdue.”
