Trump Vows Cooperation With Democrats
US President Donald Trump says he does not plan to spend the next two years simply vetoing every decision made by Congress. He wants to work with Democrats instead.
Trump shared his thinking during a conversation with Politico. He made clear that cooperation, not confrontation, will guide his approach going forward.
“We will work with the Democrats to ensure the well-being of our country. It’s very important… I don’t want to just sit here for two years and veto everything,” Trump said in a conversation with Politico.
This statement signals a shift in tone from the president. It suggests he recognizes the new political reality on Capitol Hill.
Democrats Set To Gain Senate Majority
Bloomberg’s forecast shows Democrats winning a majority in the Senate following the midterm congressional elections. The party is expected to secure at least 51 seats in the upper chamber.
This projected shift changes the balance of power in Washington significantly. It also explains why Trump appears ready to adjust his strategy with Democrats.
Working together with the opposing party could help Trump pass legislation more smoothly. It may also reduce gridlock that often follows contested midterm results.
