Democrats defend opposition to Trump initiatives despite demands for more action - Washington Examiner

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : As the highest-ranking black elected official in the country, some Democrats have looked to Jeffries as a leader with Trump back in power.
50% : However, they may have hit on a successful blueprint this week when they notched their first victory of the administration, forcing the White House to walk back a memo from the Office of Management and Budget that froze congressionally appropriated federal funding.
41% : In the nearly two weeks Trump has been back in the Oval Office, he has signed a slew of executive orders in an attempt to reshape the federal government, including banning diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, pardoning Jan. 6 riot defendants, including those who assaulted police officers, and pulling the U.S. out of the World Health Organization, which Democrats have condemned.
34% : "I think Donald Trump has painted the Democratic Party into a corner on immigration, and it's going to take us a while to get out of the corner," Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) said.
34% : They view him as being one of the people pulling the strings behind Trump, believing that once he is confirmed, many disputes will be through Vought.
27% : In the House, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is also playing the balancing game between centrists and progressives over what exactly to oppose Trump and his GOP allies on.
16% : We knew that [Trump] had really screwed up.
8% : This week, Jeffries voiced his frustration with Trump when the president repeatedly claimed, without providing any evidence in support of his claim, that the fatal air crash at Reagan National Airport was due to DEI initiatives.
