WASHINGTON: Abdul El-Sayed has dangled the president’s name on an ambitious Democratic plan for universal health care — “TrumpCare,” a golden insurance card. Donald Trump might become a man of history like Lyndon B. Johnson, who was seen as a maestro of congressional dealmaking, James Talarico has argued.
And even Hakeem Jeffries, who is next in line to become the House speaker in January, has left the door open to working with the other side of the aisle “wherever and whenever possible” to deliver for the American people.
Some Democrats who rode a wave of voter opposition to Trump into power are now suggesting ways to work with the president, playing on his vanity and love of deal-making to advance their own agendas. Not everyone in the party is on board, but the proposals signal the party’s seriousness about the hard work of legislation and the fact that Trump’s signature is needed for new laws.
Trump himself has said he doesn’t want to spend the last two years of his presidency only vetoing proposals from the Democrats who control Congress. Inn his first term just a few years ago,Trump surprised Republicans by forging deals with the Democratic leaders he dubbed “Chuck and Nancy, Senate Leader Chuck Schumer and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
