Maybe he just wants to set realistic expectations considering that Trump is still in the white house and can veto legislation. He’s also. Politician who has to represent the very broad views of his caucus.

He’s also preaching bipartisanship at a time where that is not feasible and not advisable seeing as the “compromise” is between the slightly progressive values of the DNC and the extremist Christian nationalist policies of the GOP

How are you going to pass legislation without bipartisanship if Trump vetos it?

You keep putting forth popular legislation and if Trump keeps vetoing it the republicans would be hurt more than the democrats

I agree in principle, but I still think there’s things that republicans will vote on. Maybe I’m just delusional, but I think things like stopping the tariffs and ending the Iran war could be possible for republicans in competitive districts. Maybe we could do things like bring back the border bill and fund Ukraine too.
