On Tuesday, November 6, voters across the US cast ballots in the
first major referendum since the election of President Donald J.
Trump in 2016. As a result of the most expensive midterm elections
in history, Democrats will be in charge of the House of
Representatives and Republicans will expand their control of the
Senate when the 116th Congress convenes on January 3, 2019. Given
this divide, many pundits already are predicting that nothing will
be done in Washington for the next two years.
However, our Public Policy team disagrees with that analysis.
Rather than focus on headlines about House Democrats drawing up
subpoenas to demand documents from the Trump Administration, we
discuss potential areas of compromise that could lead to
substantial legislation in the run up to the 2020 elections.
