Actually it was the Democrats that controlled the Congress with Reagan as President
Starting in 1980 and again after the 1982 midterm elections, President Reagan worked with a split Congress with a Republican majority after the 1980 Senate midterm elections and a Democratic majority after the 1980 House midterm elections. The conservatives (whom Reagan backed) lost a substantial number of seats in Congress in 1982.[100] By early 1983, however, the recession had ended and Reagan was re-elected President, in 1984, with a record-breaking 525 electoral votes.[101] The Republicans' six-year control over the Senate ended in 1986, after numerous issues (the Iran Contra Affair,[102] unpopular support for Reagan's aid to the Nicaragua Contras,[103] the cost of the Star Wars weapons program,[103] farming woes[103] and trade gaps)[103] damaged the Reagan Administration's image. By 1988, however, Reagan was redeemed of these scandals and Republican Vice President George H.W. Bush won the 1988 US Presidential election by a landslide.
