What to watch for as the new Congress begins
By LAURIE KELLMANtoday


WASHINGTON (AP) — They’ve got the keys to the offices, new paint inside, and parties to attend. But on Thursday, the work begins when 535 members of the new 116th Congress solemnly swear to govern the divided nation.

Instantly, the new Congress will make history for seating a record number of women and becoming the most racially and ethnically diverse. Republicans will take more seats in the Senate, while Democrats will grab control of the House. Immediately, they’ll all be faced with resolving a standoff over money and immigration that shut much of the government and vexed their predecessors.
