Senator Ron Johnson admits that Congress can do a limited amount of things with a simple majority, but there is plenty he would like to address in the coming months and years. For the first time since 2019, Republicans will control the White House and both chambers of Congress. They garnered control of the executive and legislative branches due to the 2016 election when President-elect Donald Trump captured his first term. One of the major pieces of legislation passed during that period was The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which overhauled the tax code for individuals and businesses. Managing the country's spending remains a focus for Johnson once Congress begins its new session next year.

Part of Johnson's duties, along with the rest of the U.S. Senate, will be to confirm Trump's cabinet picks. Pam Bondi (Attorney General), Pete Hegseth (Defense Secretary), Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence), and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (Health and Human Services Secretary) are just some of the cabinet posts Trump has announced so far. Johnson said before Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from the Attorney General post that he generally has supported Trump's picks, aiming most of his praise at Kennedy, Jr.

When the new congressional calendar opens next year, Johnson, as the chairperson of the Senate's investigative subcommittee, plans on using his subpoena power to "expose the truth" involving several different topics. Comparing himself to a "mosquito in a nudist colony," Johnson would like answers to the 60 oversight letters he has sent that received no response from select government agencies including Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control.
