Democrats Should Cut a Deal With Trump
On Election Night, Representative Robert Garcia, the incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee, described one agenda that congressional Democrats could pursue over the next two years: investigating the “Trump Crime Family,” as his office put it in a statement. His message was, “Lawyer up.”
This tack would be a mistake. The new Democratic majorities should instead take advantage of the fissures now emerging between President Trump and his party to pursue their own legislative goals.
