A House Democrat is arguing that their party needs to get past “this idea they call ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’” as President-elect Donald Trump is gearing up for another term in the White House.
The lawmaker, speaking to Axios about how Democrats should approach Trump’s second term, suggested they ought to “pick and choose” their battles this time around.
“Democrats just literally attacked everything he did. We could never agree with anything, never give him credit for anything, could never say, ‘Well actually securing the border is a good idea, I just disagree with how he’s doing it,’” the House Democrat was quoted as saying in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris’ election loss.
The discussion about Democrats reworking their strategy for Trump comes as they have been weighing in on what they believe went wrong for Harris, ranging from her choice of Tim Walz as running mate to select comments she made on national television while campaigning.
