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. Key issues include infrastructure, where both parties have shown interest in investment; national security, particularly concerning threats from China and cybersecurity; and certain aspects of healthcare reform, like lowering drug prices. 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. However, skepticism remains due to Trump's history of divisive politics and the current hyper-partisan environment. The article suggests that while there are opportunities for cooperation, the success of any bipartisan efforts would heavily depend on Trump's willingness to engage constructively with Democrats.
