DENVER — Congressional Democrats now face a crucial choice in the coming two years: investigate President Donald Trump and his administration or collaborate with him to achieve tangible results for Americans.
Post-midterm elections, Democrats have already hinted at numerous investigations into the administration. Topics include immigration enforcement, Trump’s business dealings, and the Justice Department’s actions.
However, newly elected Democrats and strategists at the ‘What’s Next’ conference in Denver have spoken about the need to find chances to work with Trump.
Iowa Gov.-elect Rob Sand emphasized cooperation, stating, ‘You don’t get to pick and choose who you work with. The people do.’

The conference, organized by Majority Democrats, brought together leaders to discuss future actions post-midterms. It aimed to have an inclusive conversation on the next steps for Democrats.
Rob Sand urged against focusing on investigations or impeachments, noting that voters require representatives dedicated to bettering their lives.
‘There are individuals struggling due to high gas prices and various policies. They need results,’ Sand remarked.
Sand questioned the need for probes into matters already highlighted by the media, suggesting efforts should revolve around helping ordinary people.
Sen.-elect James Talarico from Texas echoed a similar message, urging action within the current political framework.
Talarico urged Democrats to cooperate to make Trump’s last two years successful.
He cautioned against being bogged down by partisan disputes, highlighting the people’s demand for change.
Democratic strategist Lis Smith observed that the election was more about opposing Trump than endorsing Democrats.
Smith indicated the necessity for Democrats to focus on economic concerns and earn voters’ trust.
President Trump has two years remaining, which poses a question for Democrats: How aggressively to confront him, and where to seek collaboration.
