Democrats in Disarray as Trump Pushes Through Agenda – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

WASHINGTON Democratic governors used a private phone call with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to push him to be tougher on President Trump. A text thread with current and former elected officials is blowing up with frustration. Lawmakers disagree on the political lessons from the election.

Three weeks into the second Trump term, Democrats are struggling to find their way.

Still reeling from its loss in November, the party has found little consensus on a message or direction. Frustrations abound with Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, as Trump tries to winnow federal agencies, attempts to freeze congressionally appropriated funding and floats plans to occupy foreign territory, over objections from Democrats.
