- The 118th United States Congress is the next meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It is scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C., from January 3, 2023, to January 3, 2025, during the final two years of Joe Biden's first term of presidency. In the 2022 midterm elections, the Republicans won control of the House for the first time since the 115th Congress, while the Democrats gained one seat in the Senate, retaining control by going from 50–50 (with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the tie breaker) to an outright 51–49 majority. This marks the first split Congress since the 116th, and the first Republican House–Democratic Senate split since the 113th. With Republicans winning the House, the 118th Congress ended the federal government trifecta Democrats had held in the first half of Biden's term, and will feature the first female Senate president pro tempore (Patty Murray) and the first Black party leader (Hakeem Jeffries) in congressional history.
