In the Senate, Republicans briefly held the majority at the start; however, on January 20, 2021, three new Democratic senators – Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Alex Padilla of California – were sworn in, resulting in 50 seats held by Republicans, 48 seats held by Democrats, and two held by independents who caucus with the Democrats. Effectively, this created a 50–50 split, which had not occurred since the 107th Congress in 2001. This was only the third time in U.S. history that the Senate had been evenly split, and the longest-lasting one ever.[1][2]
The new senators were sworn into office by Vice PresidentKamala Harris, just hours after her inauguration. With Harris serving as the tie breaker in her constitutional role as President of the Senate, Democrats gained control of the Senate, and thereby full control of Congress for the first time since the 111th Congress ended in 2011. Additionally, with the inauguration of Joe Biden as president that same day, Democrats assumed control of the executive branch as well, attaining an overall federal government trifecta, also for the first time since the 111th Congress.
January 3, 2021: 117th Congress officially begins. Members-elect of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives are sworn in; though because of the COVID-19 pandemic, House members-elect did not all gather in the chamber to be sworn in, but rather, were summoned to the chambers in seven groups of about 72 people.[5]
January 5, 2021: Runoff elections were held in Georgia for the regular and special Senate elections, with Democrats winning both and gaining control of the Senate upon Kamala Harris's inauguration.
January 20, 2021: With Vice PresidentKamala Harris's inauguration, alongside the seating of three new Democratic senators (Ossoff, Warnock, Padilla – the two Georgia runoff winners and Harris's appointed replacement), Democrats take control of the Senate with a 50–50 split and Harris served as the tiebreaker in her role as Senate President.
January 25, 2021: House Democrats formally send an article of impeachment against former president Donald Trump to the Senate.
February 3, 2021: Senate organizing resolution passed, allowing Democrats to control committees and freshman senators to take committee appointments.
June 17, 2021: Juneteenth becomes the first newly created federal holiday since 1983.[7]
October 21, 2021: House voted 229–202 on H.Res. 730 to hold former President Donald Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress for his refusal to comply with the House Select Committee investigation on the January 6 attack.[8]
March 24, 2022: Nebraska Representative Jeff Fortenberry is convicted by a jury in the Central District of California of one count of scheming to falsify material facts and two counts of lying to federal investigators relating to an illegal donation made to his campaign in 2016 by Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire Gilbert Chagoury. He resigns from Congress.[11]
April 6, 2022: House voted 220–203 on H.Res. 1037 to hold former President Donald Trump officials Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino Jr. in criminal contempt of Congress for their refusal to comply with the House Select Committee investigation on the January 6 attack.
September 21, 2022: The Senate voted 69–27 to pass the Kigali Amendment.
October 6, 2022: President Biden pardons all prior offenses of marijuana possession, and instructs Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary Xavier Becerra to reconsider how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.[16]

November 30, 2022: House Democrats elect Hakeem Jeffries as the new House Democratic Leader, that began with the next Congress.[18]
December 9, 2022: Democratic senator Kyrsten Sinema officially leaves the Democratic Party and becomes an independent.[19]

Senate committees
Prior to the passing of an organizing resolution on February 3, 2021, chairs of Senate committees remained the same as in the 116th Congress. Where the chair had retired (as in the Agriculture, Budget, and HELP committees), the chair was vacant.[97]
^ a b c dThe Congress began with 51 Republicans, 48 Democrats (including 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats) and 1 vacancy in the Senate. Georgia's class 2 seat was vacant from the start until Democrat Jon Ossoff was seated January 20, 2021.
Georgia's class 3 Republican interim appointee Kelly Loeffler served until Democrat Raphael Warnock was seated also on January 20.[27]
^ a b cIn California: Kamala Harris (D) resigned January 18, 2021, to become U.S. Vice President. Alex Padilla (D) was appointed to complete the unexpired term and began serving January 20.[28]
^In Georgia: Kelly Loeffler (R) lost a special election to finish the term. Jon Ossoff (D) and Raphael Warnock (D) began their service January 20, 2021.[29][30]
^Kamala Harris (D) became U.S. Vice President January 20, 2021, with the tie-breaking vote. The Senate elected Patrick Leahy to serve as President pro tempore also began on January 20.
^ a bIn Arizona: Kyrsten Sinema declared that she left the Democratic Party to become an independent politician on December 9, 2022.[19] She was still recognized as a Democrat by the Senate throughout the Congress, and did not formally switch her affiliation until the beginning of the 118th Congress.[31]
^Miller-Meeks was provisionally seated with the rest of the 117th Congress, pending the challenge by her opponent Rita Hart.[79] Hart withdrew her challenge on March 31, 2021.[80]
^ a b When seated or oath administered, not necessarily when service began.
^Wild was named chair when Ted Deutch resigned from office on September 30, 2022.
