Bipartisanship in the Trump administration? Democrats are open to some picks and plans

The article from the Des Moines Register discusses the potential for bipartisanship in the U.S. Congress if Donald Trump were to win the 2024 presidential election. It highlights that despite the deep political divisions, there are areas where Democrats and Republicans might find common ground.

The piece also notes that while Trump's previous term was marked by significant polarization, some Democrats believe that the necessity of governance could push both sides towards compromise.
