President-elect Trump is leaving the rest of his GOP trifecta hanging on their reconciliation stalemate.Why it matters: Republican leaders on both sides of the Capitol have no interest in going against Trump. He has the power to quickly end this debate, but that's no closer after Wednesday's meeting with the Senate GOP.Trump pitched the idea of a single "beautiful bill," Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told reporters after the meeting. That's where the momentum is headed, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said."[H]e heard from us that and from our leader that a two bill strategy is very much still very interested in," Sen. Shelley Capito Moore (R-W.V.) told reporters.But Trump keeps making it clear: He really doesn't care about the process.That apparent indifference on this key question will force the House and Senate to attempt to resolve their differences among themselves.Inside the room: Trump went over his Day 1 executive orders, a source in the room told us.Stephen Miller walked through the immigration ones in detail, three sources told Axios.About a dozen senators spoke during the meeting, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) giving the most passionate defense of the two-bill strategy, two sources told Axios.Trump invited the senators and their spouses to Mar-a-Lago, but didn't name a date, two sources told us. Axios scooped his plans for a Senate bash last night.The bottom line: If the one bill versus two question is hard, agreeing to a topline number should be a real treat.P.S. Top Trump campaign staffer Alex Latcham will be executive director of the Senate Leadership Fund, with former Sen. Cory Gardner serving as CEO and chairman of the board, Axios scooped on Wednesday.

Data: Pew Research Center; Note: Data counts independents with the party they caucus with. 119th Congress includes Republican Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), who are expected to resign in early January to take up positions in the Trump administration; Chart: Axios VisualsFor the first time in modern history, the House majority will rest on thinner margins than the Senate's in the 119th Congress.Why it matters: The House is going to be a bigger headache for President-elect Trump than the Senate.The chaos of the past few days is just the tasting menu for a banquet of what's to come in two weeks."This is comparatively straightforward," Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) told reporters about the government shutdown showdown. "Reconciliation is very tough. It's very complicated, and they can't manage this. This has been a disaster."What to watch: The Senate plans to use reconciliation to work around the filibuster and pass political priorities with a simple majority. They can even afford to lose a couple of votes from the likes of Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Susan Collins (R-Maine) or Rand Paul (R-Ky.)But they could face a dilemma the House usually has to deal with — watching a bill get changed or die in the other chamber.By the numbers: The 119th Congress will begin with six more Senate Republicans than Senate Democrats, while the House will start with four more Republicans than Democrats, assuming Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) does not get sworn in.Incoming Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) called the statistic "wild.""Any time you have a narrow margin, it's a challenge, whether it's the Senate or the House," he said, adding leaders will "do our best to make sure we keep the team as united as possible."It's the first time the House has had a smaller majority than the Senate since at least the 88th Congress, which was the first time there were 435 representatives and 100 senators.The House margin will get even smaller, fast. Reps. Elise Stefanick (R-N.Y.) and Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) are expected to join the Trump administration, leaving their seats empty, at least temporarily.Sens. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will also vacate their Senate seats for top Trump posts next month. Their seats will likely be quickly filled by governor appointments.
