Republicans held a governing trifecta from 2017 to 2019. The GOP achieved much of their agenda, including sweeping tax reform and confirming judges to achieve a conservative majority in the Supreme Court. However, not all of their priorities cleared the finish line.

Here's a look at their major accomplishments and notable setbacks:

In February 2019, after a monthlong government shutdown, Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border and reallocated roughly $8 billion from other military construction projects and other sources to fund the border wall. 

In total, the Trump administration completed approximately 452 miles of border wall by the end of January 2021. 

Trump's third and final Supreme Court nomination, Amy Coney Barrett - who replaced the late liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - was accomplished in 2020, the last full year of his first term.
