Change is once again in the air for Washington with the 2024 elections marking the sixth consecutive “change election.” Both the US Senate and White House will flip to Republican control in 2025. Democrats had a net gain of 1 seat in the House, but that wasn’t enough for them to retake the majority in that chamber. These changes in party control aren’t the only aspects of the 119th Congress that are noteworthy. Within each chamber of Congress, additional seeds of change have been planted, with more to come. South Dakota Senator John Thune assumes the mantles of both party and Majority Leader. He replaces Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell as GOP leader. New York’s Chuck Schumer will remain the Senate’s top Democrat as Minority Leader, but other leadership positions and committee rosters shift as the game of musical committee chairs plays out. Over in the House, a slim majority maintained by Republicans has been narrowed by departures for the Administration. Elise Stefanik (NY-21) leaves to become Ambassador to the United Nations and Michigander Lisa McClain (MI-10) replaces her as House Republican Conference Chair. While other top roles for both the Republicans and Democrats remain unchanged, committee assignments have been shuffled. Could other changes jolt the makeup of Congress in 2025? Who will wield more influence in the 119th Congress? And what does this all mean for health policy? This AMA educational session will explore the fluid Congressional landscape, the effect it will have on health care policy in the new Congress, and how you can be an effective advocate in 2025 and beyond.
