Democrats split over approach as Trump heads back to White House
After Trumps recent election win some Democrats change their stance on working with the next administration. Key figures show signs of cooperation while others maintain their hard-line opposition
In the wake of the Nov-24 presidential election Democrats find themselves at a cross-roads about how to deal with Donald Trumpʼs comeback. The traditional political push-back has turned into something different - a full-scale rejection of everything related to the president-elect
Joe and I realised its time to do something different and that starts with‚ not only talking about Donald Trump‚ but also talking with him
The progressive movement which includes DC insiders didnt just disagree with his ideas; they started an all-out attack on Trump himself (using terms like “The Resistance“ and pushing un-proven Russian theories)
Some well-known Democrats are now showing a different approach: John Fetterman expressed his support for potential Trump nominees including Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador and even his ex-rival Dr Mehmet Oz for healthcare leadership
However the party remains split on this issue: some governors like JB Pritzker and Jared Polis created an anti-Trump coalition while others choose a more down-to-earth path. The recent election showed that extreme opposition doesnt work well - Kamala Harrisʼs campaign failed worse than any Democratic run since mid-80s
- Rick Wilson and The Lincoln Project keep fighting Trump
- MSNBC hosts had a weekend meeting with president-elect
- Some Democrats want to confirm Trumpʼs cabinet picks
- Progressive activists maintain their total opposition
The left-wing movement lost voter trust due to going too far; now they need to accept that most people picked Trump and find a way to work together without giving up their core beliefs
