Some think with Republicans back in control, they will implement Project 2025, the controversial conservative plan that could reshape the federal government.
On the campaign trail, Trump distanced himself from the plan, but a recent social media post from Oklahoma GOP Chairman Nathan Dahm has some worried it could go through.
Dahm told KOCO 5 on Thursday that there might be some policies, like immigration, that Republicans support that are also in Project 2025.
But that doesn't mean they are going to implement it.
Still, Democrats said with Republicans back in control of the White House, they absolutely could.
"This is a huge opportunity. This is a mandate from the people of America that they want what the republican party is offering," Dahm said.
Dahm is looking forward to what another term of Trump in the White House will mean for the country and Oklahoma.
"You could say this is MAGA country here in Oklahoma," Dahm said.
But it's this post from Dahm that has raised some eyebrows.
