The Republican Party is edging closer to overall control of the US Congress, having already secured a majority in the Senate and needing three seats to take the House of Representatives.
A party needs 218 seats to win a House majority and president-elect Donald Trump's has 214, according to the latest data, compared with the Democrats' 205.
Since winning the presidential election last week, all eyes have been on Trump to see who he appoints to serve in his administration.
So far, roles have been given to New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik - the new US ambassador to the United Nations - and Tom Homan, who Trump has said will serve as his "border tsar".Republicans are expected to hold at least 52 seats in the 100-member Senate after capturing three previously held by Democrats in West Virginia, Ohio and Montana.
Control of the House gives a party the power to initiate spending legislation and launch impeachment proceedings against officials.
Leading both chambers would mean that most of Trump's agenda would have a greater likelihood of winning congressional approval than if Democrats controlled one of them.
Trump campaigned on promises, among other things, to "end inflation", cut taxes and deport immigrants who are in the US illegally.
Meanwhile, rumours are swirling around who Trump will offer his top cabinet jobs to.
Who's in the frame to join Trump's new top team?
Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), had been tipped to become the next homeland secretary.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Homan would be "in charge of our Nation’s Borders (“The Border Czar”), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security".
He continued: "Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job."
In a statement to the New York Post, Trump also announced Stefanik as his pick for UN ambassador.
She confirmed her acceptance of the role to the same newspaper, saying she was "truly honoured".
"During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate," she said.
Elsewhere, Susie Wiles has already been appointed as the 47th president's chief of staff. In his election victory speech, Trump called her "the ice maiden" - a reference to her composure - and said she "likes to stay in the background".
Other names in the running to join the administration are billionaire X owner Elon Musk, who played a key role in Trump's campaign, and Robert F Kennedy Jr - who ran his own presidential campaign before endorsing Trump.
Over the weekend, Trump announced that Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo - who both served in his first administration - would not be offered new positions when he returns to the White House in January.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is expected to discuss European security and the likely impact of a second Trump presidency when he holds talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Monday.
Ahead of attending a ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Macron and Starmer are expected to discuss Russia's ongoing invasion and the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Downing Street said.
Their meeting comes as questions are being asked about US President-elect Donald Trump's support for Ukraine after he said he could end the war with Russia "in one day".
Trade will also be on the agenda, with Trump saying he will impose a blanket 20% tariff on imports into the US.Some economists have warned about the global impact of such tariffs, with on prediction of a potential £22bn hit to UK exports.
Sir Keir - who is believed to be the first British leader to attend the ceremony on the Champs Elysee since Winston Churchill in 1944 - will also meet French Prime Minister Michel Barnier.
Questions have been raised following Trump's US presidential election victory about what his second term could mean for US support for Ukraine and Nato.
Over the weekend, the Washington Post reported Trump has already spoken to Vladimir Putin - urging the Russian leader not to further escalate the war.
UK Defence Secretary John Healey said if the reports of the call were correct "then President Trump is exactly right to warn Putin against escalation in Ukraine"he said he expected the United States to "remain steadfast" in its support of Ukraine due to the strength of "bipartisan support" in the country.
"We have stepped up our support of Ukraine, we’re speeded up the delivery of aid, and we’re spending more now on Ukraine and supporting Ukraine than we ever have done before," he added.
The UK and France have said backing Ukraine against Russia is essential when it comes to to protecting the European continent as a whole.
Trump has previously told Nato members to increase defence spending, saying he would let aggressors such as Russia do "whatever the hell it wants" to those that do not.
During his election campaign, Donald Trump declined to specify how he would end the war between Russia and Ukraine in a day - but it could involve imposing a deal on both sides.
Bryan Lanza, who worked on Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, told the BBC that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had to have a "realistic vision for peace", which would not involve ending the Russian annexation of Crimea.
However, a spokesperson for Donald Trump distanced him from the remarks, saying Mr Bryan "does not speak for him".
The Armistice Day meeting between Starmer and Macron comes as fighting between the two sides intensifies.
Exchanges at the weekend saw the largest drone attacks by both sides against each other since the start of the war, and Russia's defence ministry said it intercepted 84 Ukrainian drones over six regions, including some approaching Moscow.
On Sunday, Treasury Minister Darren Jones told BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme that the government wanted to increase defence spending from 2.3% to 2.5% of the national income.
However, he did not say when the target would be reached or whether it would be met before the next election, which could be held in 2029, at the latest.
Sir Keir joined other political leaders and members of the Royal Family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, for the annual National Service of Remembrance ceremony at the Cenotaph in London on Sunday.
King Charles led the nation in two minutes of silence in remembrance of those who lost their lives serving in the two world wars or other conflicts.
As on Remembrance Sunday, two minutes of silence will be held on Armistice Day at 11:00 GMT.
It marks the moment World War One ended, at 11:00 on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918.

Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille has been fired by the country's ruling council less than six months after he took office.
An executive order, signed by eight of the council's nine members, named businessman and former Haiti Senate candidate Alix Didier Fils-Aime as Conille's replacement.
Conille, a former United Nations official, was brought in to lead Haiti through an ongoing, gang-led security crisis and had been expected to help pave the way for the country's first presidential elections since 2016.
He described his ousting as illegal, saying in a letter - seen by Reuters news agency - that it raised "serious concerns" about Haiti's future.Haiti currently has neither a president nor parliament and, according to its constitution, only the latter can sack a sitting prime minister.
Conille was sworn in on 3 June.
"This resolution, taken outside any legal and constitutional framework, raises serious concerns about its legitimacy," Conille's letter was quoted as saying.
Haiti's transitional presidential council (TPC) was created in April after Ariel Henry, Conille's predecessor, was forced from office by a network of gangs that had taken over parts of the capital Port-au-Prince.
The gangsters and rebels jostling over power in Haiti
Henry left Haiti to attend a summit in Guyana on 25 February 2024 and gang members subsequently seized the city's international airport, preventing him from returning.
The TPC was tasked with restoring democratic order to the Caribbean country, where such violence is rife.
More than 3,600 people have been killed in Haiti since January and more than 500,000 have had to leave their homes, according to the UN, which describes Haiti as being one of the poorest countries in the world.
Two million Haitians currently face emergency levels of hunger, UN data shows, while almost half the population "do not have enough to eat".
One of the country's most powerful gang leaders, Jimmy Chérizier, also known as Barbecue, previously said he would be prepared to end the violence if armed groups were allowed to be involved in talks to establish a new government.
Presidential elections were last held in Haiti eight years ago, when Jovenel Moïse of the Tèt Kale party was elected.
Since his murder in July 2021, the post of president has been vacant.
Gangs in Haiti have capitalised on the power vacuum and expanded their control over swathes of the country, which has effectively been rendered lawless in places.
Last month, it was reported that hundreds of police officers had been deployed to Haiti from Kenya, with more set to join them in November.

Pedro Neto drilled in a fine equaliser as Chelsea and Arsenal both missed the chance to make up ground on Premier League leaders Liverpool following an entertaining draw at Stamford Bridge.
The result leaves the two teams on 19 points, nine adrift of top spot, and Arsenal without a win in their past five games in all competitions.
The visitors opened the scoring when Gabriel Martinelli slammed the ball past Blues keeper Robert Sanchez at his near post after collecting a back-post cross from the returning Martin Odegaard.
Chelsea's leveller was deserved. Neto ran on to an Enzo Fernandez pass before cutting inside and striking a powerful low left-footed shot past David Raya's dive.
England winger Bukayo Saka limped off late on with an injury as both sides strived to create a winning chance.

Hello and welcome to today's football news live page.
It has been another story-filled weekend of Premier League action, including surprise defeats for Manchester City and Tottenham, a draw between Chelsea and Arsenal and a first league win of the season for Wolves.

Plus, Ruben Amorim is due to fly to Manchester today ahead of becoming the new man in charge at Old Trafford.
Let's delve straight into it all with a round-up of the weekend's top-flight action.

Leaders Liverpool had the dream weekend after victory over Aston Villa coupled with defeat for Manchester City against Brighton - and Sunday’s 1-1 draw between Arsenal and Chelsea.
They now lead City by five points - and the rest of the pack by nine points or more.
Opta's 'supercomputer' gives Mikel Arteta's Arsenal just a 3.5% chance of the title, with Chelsea down on 0.2% and anybody else on 0%.
"I would not write off anyone who is up there now, absolutely not," said MOTD2 pundit and former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott.
"Liverpool at some point are going to stumble and they will have injury problems like every other team."
However, speaking on MOTD2, former Premier League striker Troy Deeney warned: “Lose one more time and I think Arsenal are out of it. They are going to have to beat Liverpool and beat City as well.”
Are Arsenal out of the title race?
Arsenal fans were hoping this was going to be their season after pushing Manchester City close in each of the past two campaigns.
And with City faltering - on the back of four consecutive defeats in all competitions - this might have been their ideal chance.
But Liverpool are performing better than anyone could have imagined under new boss Arne Slot, with 28 points out of a possible 33.
And the Gunners trail the leaders by nine points at the end of a weekend for the first time since the final day of 2021-22, when they finished 24 points behind Manchester City.
They looked dejected as the final whistle went at Stamford Bridge.
Walcott said: "The difference with Arsenal at this moment in time is that they are lacking in goals, while they are not conceding many - but at this point of the season it's important to factor in who they have played.
"I would say that, so far, they have played tougher teams - they have played six of last season's top 10, and five of those games have been away from home.
"Plus, most of the time they have been without their main player, Martin Odegaard, and they are still where they are."
Captain Odegaard made his first Premier League appearance since August against Chelsea and set up Gabriel Martinelli's opening goal.
Walcott added: "People tend to forget all of that when they look into how Arsenal are not playing at the same level they were at last year, but for me it is one of the reasons not to write them off in the title race."
Gunners legend Paul Merson, speaking on Sky Sports, said: "He [Arteta] has got to make sure it gets down to six points rather than go to 12.
"I think they'll do well to catch Liverpool now. It might stay at nine until the end of December. If it goes to 12 then it's finished."
Can Arsenal do it? Well, history is not on their side.
Excluding teams with games in hand, nobody has ever won the Premier League title after being nine (or more) points off top with 11 games gone.
Manchester City managed it in 2013-14 but leaders Arsenal had played 12 games by that stage.
Speaking about his title rivals, Arteta said his team need to "win, win, win, win and win, because these guys don't stop winning".
If they were to win every remaining game this season they would end on 100 points, with Liverpool's current form putting them on course for 97 points.Liverpool's title to lose?

How Liverpool exploited 'oceans of space' against Villa
Liverpool are only the sixth team in Premier League history to be five points clear after 11 games.
The first five all won the title - including Liverpool in 2019-20, the last time a team were so far clear at this stage.
There were many doubts about how Liverpool would get on after the exit of legendary boss Jurgen Klopp last summer - but they are flying under Slot.
Reds midfielder Alexis Mac Allister said "before the season started I would not say we were candidates, but now it looks like [we are]" after their 2-0 win over Villa.
Opta give them a 58.3% chance of the title - up from 5.1% before the season.
Walcott said: "What Liverpool have got going for them is they have seemingly endless amounts of goals in their team. If you look at their goal difference compared to the teams chasing them, it is massive.
"So it doesn’t really matter if they do start conceding goals, because they can outscore you.
"Liverpool are going to have injury problems like every other team, or hit a stage where all the games they have to play in the Premier League and Champions League will start to catch up with them.
"So this is just the start [of the title race] but Liverpool's firepower is the one thing in their favour."
Former Reds midfielder Jamie Redknapp, speaking on Sky Sports, said "Arne Slot is the big winner this weekend".
"They need to keep that momentum. Right now, the ascendancy is with Liverpool. Liverpool play Man City in a couple of weeks," he added.
That game is on Sunday, 1 December at Anfield.
How about City's hopes?

Why Man City were 'too easy to play through' against Brighton
Pep Guardiola has lost four games in a row in all competitions for the first time (excluding penalty shootouts) in a trophy-laden career with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and City.
City are bidding to win a fifth Premier League title in a row - but Opta only give them a 38% chance of doing so. That figure was 82% before a ball was kicked this season.
"Maybe after seven years winning six Premier Leagues, maybe one year another team deserve it," said Guardiola.
However, they are famously strong finishers and have only lost four Premier League games after Christmas in the past three seasons.
Plus they have overcome much greater obstacles than a five-point deficit after 11 games.
In fact, in all their four-in-a-row title-winning seasons they have trailed by six points or more at some stage, including when they were eight points off Arsenal in April 2023.
Redknapp said: "To Manchester City this feels like a bit of a crisis.
"This is the first time in a few years where people are saying Manchester City are not favourites to win the title because of the injuries they have got."

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Portugal, on the small island of Madeira off the country’s southwestern coast. He is the youngest of four children born to Maria Dolores dos Santos and José Dinis Aveiro. He was named after former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, one of his father’s favorite actors.
Ronaldo grew up in a largely working class neighborhood in a small tin-roofed home that overlooked the ocean. He was introduced to the game of soccer through his dad, who worked as an equipment manager at a boy’s club for a time.
His early life was shaped by hardship, as his father often drank too much. To help keep the children fed and maintain some financial stability, Ronaldo’s mother worked as a cook and cleaning person. The young athlete had often pushed for his father to enter rehab and address his drinking. His father, however, never accepted the offer.
By the time he was 10 years old, Ronaldo was already recognized as a phenom—a kid who ate, slept, and drank soccer. “All he wanted to do as a boy was play football,” his godfather, Fernao Sousa, recalled for British reporters, adding, “He loved the game so much he’d miss meals or escape out of his bedroom window with a ball when he was supposed to be doing his homework.”
By his early teens, Ronaldo’s talent and legend had grown considerably. After a stint with Nacional da liha da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001.
In 2005, when Ronaldo was playing for Manchester United, his father died from alcohol-related kidney problems. The loss was especially hard for the then-20-year-old player, because he and his dad had been close. Two years later, Ronaldo’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her treatment was successful, though she faced a reoccurrence of the disease in 2019. Maria also had a stroke in 2020 that required surgery.
Ronaldo had turned heads with a mesmerizing performance with Portugal against Manchester United, wowing even his opponents with his footwork and deft skill. He made such an impression that a number of United players asked their manager to try and sign the young player, which the team soon did.
In 2001, Manchester United paid more than £12 million to sign Ronaldo, then just 16 years old. The deal, worth more than $14 million U.S. dollars, was a record fee for a player of his age.
Ronaldo didn’t disappoint: He showed his promise early on in the 2004 FA Cup final, scoring the team’s first three goals and helping them capture the championship. In 2007, Ronaldo signed a five-year, £31 million contract.
A year later, Ronaldo again justified his high salary when he put together one of the club’s finest seasons in history, setting a franchise record for goals scored (42) and earning himself the FIFA World Player of the Year honor for 2008. In all, Ronaldo helped steer Manchester United to three Premier League titles.
Real Madrid
In 2009, the Spanish soccer club Real Madrid agreed to pay Manchester United a record $131 million for the chance to sign Ronaldo. Ronaldo’s commitment to Manchester United had come under constant question, and speculation swirled that he wanted to play elsewhere, so nobody was all that surprised to see Ronaldo leave.
“I know that they are going to demand a lot of me to be successful at the club, and I know that I’m going to have much more pressure than at Manchester United because I was there for many years,” Ronaldo told reporters. “But it means a new challenge and is going to help me be the best footballer.”
Ronaldo went on to compile an impressive list of individual honors and team trophies. In December 2016, he won his fourth Ballon d’Or award as the sport’s player of the year, beating out FC Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo’s 2016 wins included the European Championship, Champions League, and Club World Cup, plus individual awards from UEFA and France Football magazine. The following year, he claimed a fifth Ballon d’Or to tie the mark held by his longtime rival, Messi.
Juventus
After dropping hints that his time with Real was coming to an end, Ronaldo confirmed the rumors in July 2018 by signing with Italian Serie A club Juventus, which paid a $140 million transfer fee to his old Spanish club.
Ronaldo paid tribute to Real fans in an open letter on the club’s website, writing: “These years at Real Madrid and in this city of Madrid have quite possibly been the happiest years of my life. I only have feelings of great gratitude to this club, to the fans and to the city. I can only give thanks to all of them for the love and affection that I have received.”
By most measures, Ronaldo’s debut season with Juventus was a successful one. He scored 10 times in his first 14 games and headed home the lone goal in a win over AC Milan for the Supercoppa Italiana trophy. After leading his club to its eighth consecutive Serie A title, he was named the league’s MVP in May 2019.
Al-Nassr
Although he left the team after 2008, Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in August 2021. However, his stay didn’t last long.
In November 2022, the team announced it had reached a mutual agreement to terminate Ronaldo’s contract and that he had left the club effective immediately. The decision came after an eyebrow-raising TV interview with Piers Morgan in which Ronaldo said he “doesn’t respect” team manager Erik ten Hag.
The question of where the coveted free agent would play next lingered into the following month. Finally on December 30, 2022, the Saudi Pro League team Al-Nassr FC announced it had landed Ronaldo with a contract lasting through the summer of 2025. According to reports, the annual value of the deal was worth about $200 million, including a $75 million playing salary and the chance to earn the rest through commercial agreements.
“In Europe my work, it’s done. I won everything,” Ronaldo said of the move. “I played the most important clubs in Europe, and for me now, it’s a new challenge.”
Ronaldo made his debut with Al-Nassr in late January 2023 and scored a league-high 35 goals across his first season. He said in August 2024 he plans to retire with the team within a couple years.
Portugal National Team
Cristiano Ronaldo plays for the Portugal national team in July 2024.
On July 10, 2016, Ronaldo added an emotional victory to his collection. As his national team’s captain, Ronaldo led Portugal to the European Championship final against France.
Although he was sidelined after suffering a knee injury 25 minutes into the match, Portugal went on to win the championship title 1-0, their first international trophy. Ronaldo’s teammates said that he motivated them as team captain from the sidelines. “He gave us a lot of confidence and he said, ‘Listen people, I’m sure we will win this Euro, so stay together and fight for it,’” fullback Cedric Soares said after Portugal’s victory.
“This is one of the happiest moments in my career,” Ronaldo commented. “I’ve always said I wanted to win a trophy with the national team and make history. And I did it. Thank God, things went well for us.”
Ronaldo got off to a tremendous start at the 2018 World Cup, blasting home three goals in an opening draw versus Spain, before adding another versus Morocco to set a European record with his 85th international goal. However, he was held scoreless in a 2-1 loss to Uruguay in the knockout stage, after which he declined to comment on his future with the national team.
He returned for the 2022 World Cup but started on the bench for the team’s knockout games in the round of 16 and quarterfinals. Despite entering the latter match, Ronaldo couldn’t help the team erase a 1-0 deficit against Morocco.
Playing for Portugal on September 5, 2024, Ronaldo became the first men’s player to score 900 career goals across international and club play in a 2-1 UEFA Nations League win over Croatia.
His contributions to his country have been memorialized in a bronze bust of Ronaldo at the airport in Madeira, Portugal.
Height and Career Stats
Ronaldo, whose height is between 6-foot-1 and 6-foot-2 according to most estimates, has set numerous individual and league records during his career.
Of his 901 total goals as of September 8, 2024, he has scored 132 during official international competition—the most ever by any player, according to ESPN. He is also the only player ever to score goals at five different World Cups.
Here are some of Ronaldo’s other noteworthy stats, with records in bold, according to the UEFA Champions League catalog:
• Men’s international appearances: 214
• UEFA Champions League matches: 183
• UEFA Champions League goals: 140
• UEFA Champions League final wins: 5
• UEFA European Championship matches (with qualifiers): 74
• UEFA European Championship finals goals: 14
• FIFA World Cup matches: 22
• FIFA World Cup goals: 8
• Ballon d’Or wins: 5
Partner and Children
Ronaldo is in a long-term relationship with Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez. The pair were first seen together publicly around November 2016 and became an official couple the following year. Although neither has confirmed their potential marriage, Ronaldo has referred to Rodriguez as his wife in interviews as recently as July 2024.
Ronaldo and Rodriguez have four children. In June 2017, the couple welcomed twins, a boy named Mateo and a girl named Eva Maria, via a surrogate. In November 2017, Rodriguez added to their family with the birth of another girl, Alana Martina, and the couple most recently had daughter named Bella in April 2022.
Ronaldo’s eldest child, Cristiano Jr., was born to a former girlfriend in June 2010.
Sexual Assault Investigation
In 2018, police in Las Vegas reopened a 9-year old investigation into claims that Ronaldo had raped a woman in his hotel room. The accuser also filed a civil lawsuit against the star athlete.
The following summer, the district attorney for Clark County, Nevada, announced that he had reviewed the case and wouldn’t pursue criminal charges against Ronaldo.
Net Worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ronaldo’s total fortune is estimated at around $600 million as of July 2024.
In March 2024, Ronaldo topped Forbes’ annual list of the world’s highest-paid athletes for the fourth time. He brought in an estimated $260 million due mostly to his lucrative contract with Al-Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo Scores 900th Goal
It’s up for debate if Cristiano Ronaldo is the GOAT of professional soccer, but one thing is certain: He’s the most prolific scorer in the sport’s history.
The 39-year-old scored in the 34th minute of Portugal’s UEFA Nations League Victory over Croatia on September 5, becoming the first men’s player to reach 900 career goals. “It was emotional because it’s a milestone,” Ronaldo said, according to the Associated Press. “It seems like any other milestone, but only I know, and the people around me, how hard it is to work every day, to be physically and psychologically fit, to score 900 goals. It’s a unique milestone in my career.”
Ronaldo moved 58 goals ahead of Argentinian star Lionel Messi, who’s in second place with 842 career goals. Late Brazilian legend Pelé is third all-time with 765. Ronaldo has previously said he hopes to reach 1,000 goals before ending his illustrious career.
