Trump era: Most House members were first elected in 2016 or later

When Donald Trump was sworn in as president eight years ago, about 12 percent of House Republicans had first taken office after his election in 2016. 

When the president-elect returns to the White House later this month, that percentage of House Republicans will have grown to a staggering 68 percent, or 150 members who were first seated after his first election win or later.

Welcome to the Trump era of Congress.
