Texas Sen.-elect James Talarico, a Democrat, told a Democratic gathering in Denver on Thursday that his party should work with President Trump rather than wait for the next president. According to NBC News, he said Trump’s last two years should be “the most productive of any presidency in American history,” with immediate economic relief. Talarico said some reforms may not pass until 2029 and that voters cannot wait two years for change. NBC News notes that Democrats won both chambers of Congress, but Trump keeps veto power until 2029. The Hill and Al Jazeera report the same call for bipartisan work, and Al Jazeera frames it as an appeal to Trump’s legacy.
