House Dems should start with...? [View all]
What do you think should be the first and second priorities? Please vote for first, and list 2nd in the title of your reply.
Passing laws will be challenging without senate control and with veto power in trumps hands.
But Dems will use House power to highlight key issues, push for change, embarrass GOP, and perhaps work out deals where possible.
The Trump shutdown may well be motivated by desire to control the narrative after Dems take House. Whatever agenda Nancy Pelosi had, Trump has pushed the Wall to the front of the media line, because ignoring the shutdown won’t be possible in opening weeks of new term. A weak tool, but maybe trump is using it as the only means he has to put Dems in a reactive rather than proactive position.
The death of the 8 year old in Border Patrol custody on Christmas Eve makes clear that reuniting separated families have to be at the top of the priority list, in my opinion. Maybe others think differently?
