Sarah McCammon

I mean, that said, the Republican majority in the House, though, is very narrow, just three seats. Domenico, we've reported before about how disunified the Republican conference tends to be. Isn't there some room here for Democrats to maneuver?

Okay, it's time for a quick break. We'll have more in just a moment. And we're back. You know, one thing that I find interesting when thinking about all of this is Republicans, when they're in the minority, they've gotten really good at holding things up. You might say being a bit more obstructionist.

So looking at a bit more broadly, I mean, Trump won the election. Republicans took the Senate. They kept the House. And yet a lot of people don't vote in elections. Trump has never had an approval rating above 50 percent. One would think there's some room for Democrats to make inroads here. But, Domenico, is that the case given the way the country's political structures work?
