The 118th United States Congress is the next 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 is scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C., from January 3, 2023, to January 3, 2025, during the final two years of Joe Biden's first term of presidency.

In the 2022 midterm elections, the Republicans won control of the House for the first time since the 115th Congress, while the Democrats retained control of the Senate. This marks the first split congress since the 116th, and the first Republican House–Democratic Senate split since the 113th. With the Republicans winning the House, the 118th Congress ended the federal government trifecta the Democrats had held throughout the first half of Biden's term.[1]

This congress will feature the first female President Pro Tempore (Patty Murray) and the first black representative to lead a party in congress (Hakeem Jeffries) in U.S. history.
