The White House has spent months preparing for the possibility that Democrats could take control of Congress, according to Odaily, citing Jinshi and people familiar with the matter. The planning centers on using executive authority to keep advancing key parts of the administration’s agenda while also getting ready for potential congressional investigations into the Trump administration.
Three people familiar with the matter said senior officials, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and budget chief Russell Vought, have been working with the White House Counsel’s Office since April to identify actions Trump could take without congressional approval. The areas under review include immigration, tariffs, housing costs, and federal spending.
A White House official said White House Counsel Will Scharf and his team are also examining what actions Trump can legally take on his own, where he may be able to test the outer bounds of his authority, and how those decisions could be defended in court. Over the past month, Trump has held rallies across the country as he tries to preserve Republican control of Congress, while aides have reportedly begun preparing in private for a very different political setup that could emerge in 2027.
