Social commentator and former Obama State Department spokesperson Marie Harf suggested Democratic politicians should aim to work with President Donald Trump more often in his next president, rather than constantly reject him as they did in his first word.
“Now I have a lot of friends, members of Congress, staff on Capitol Hill, who say ‘last day, every time he did everything, every little thing, we overreacted. We spent days and weeks and months trying to get a tax return, for example, and did that actually problem? ’ ” Harf asked on Fox News’s coverage of Trump’s inauguration. “So I think Democrats right now are trying to figure out where they can function with the Trump presidency, and where the stuff that he tries to do that are so contradictory to what we believe as a group, that that ’s where we have to put a lot of our interest. ”
Harf acknowledged the bipartisan support for Marco Rubio, who will offer as secretary of state in Trump’s Cabinet, adding that Democrats will also probably assist other contenders in the Cabinet. She also suggested that Democrats “deeply ” believe that what Trump said to voters “really spoke” to them in a way Democrats could not, and that they are currently thinking of ways to win Trump voters back ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Also, Harf claimed that Monday was Trump’s “best time of his president” since he cannot find election and will experience “a divided Republican Party ” on how to move ahead and work with Congress. As such, she argued Liberals are “starting to think about that. ”
