The 118th United States Congress is the current 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 convened in Washington, D.C., on January 3, 2023, and will end on January 3, 2025, during the final two years of President Joe Biden's initial term.

In the 2022 midterm elections, the Republican Party won control of the House for the first time since the 115th Congress, while the Democratic Party gained one seat in the Senate, giving them a 51–49 majority (with a caucus of 48 Democrats and three independents). 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 held in the 117th.[1]

This congress also features the first female Senate president pro tempore (Patty Murray), the first Black party leader (Hakeem Jeffries) in congressional history, and the longest-serving Senate Republican leader and Democratic whip, (Mitch McConnell and Dick Durbin, respectively).

The 118th Congress has been viewed as enduring intense gridlock, particularly in the House. The Congress began with a multi-ballot election for Speaker of the House, which had not happened since the 68th Congress in 1923. Kevin McCarthy was eventually elected speaker on the 15th ballot. After relying on Democratic votes to get out of a debt ceiling crisis and government shutdown threats, McCarthy became the first speaker to ever be removed from the role during a legislative session, following a successful motion to vacate the office on October 3, 2023.[2] Following three failed attempts by various representatives to fill the post, on October 25, Mike Johnson was elected as speaker. In November, Johnson followed McCarthy's lead in avoidance of a government shutdown.

This was the first congress since the 107th in which a member was expelled, and the first ever in which a Republican was, with New York Representative George Santos expelled from the House in December 2023.
