Congress returns to Washington as President-elect Donald Trump ’s hard-right agenda is quickly taking shape.

House and Senate leaders will hold internal party elections this week for their own jobs.

House Speaker Mike Johnson will assemble his leadership team early Tuesday on the Capitol steps for a victory lap and agenda-setting.

Johnson only needs a simple majority during Wednesday 's private voting to become the GOP nominee to be speaker.

He will need a 218 -member majority in January during a floor vote of the whole House .

A low vote total this week will show the leverage Freedom Caucus members and others have to pry concessions from Johnson .
