What Trump's final 2 years in office will look like with Democrats in charge

Key Points:

• Following significant Republican election losses, President Trump has expressed mixed signals about cooperating with Democrats who will control Congress starting January, emphasizing both willingness to work together and the use of his veto power.
• Democratic leaders plan to aggressively use their new oversight powers to investigate the Trump administration and family, focusing on business dealings, government contracts, immigration policies, and alleged corruption, with subpoena authority and potential contempt charges.
• Despite speculation, Democrats currently show little interest in pursuing impeachment against President Trump, preferring to focus on legislative priorities that impact working-class Americans and addressing corruption through appropriations and oversight.
• With Democrats controlling the Senate, Trump's ability to confirm nominees will be constrained, potentially forcing reliance on acting officials or bipartisan-supported candidates, while the president is expected to increasingly use executive orders to advance his agenda.
• Trump's influence over Republican lawmakers may wane in his final two years as president, as members of Congress consider their political futures and seek paths forward independent of his leadership.
