your democratic uncle s house than your republican aunt s house. is it an inflection point? i have to push back on a lot of people who say how is he going to govern with a republican majority in the house and then an evenly divided senate. you forget all of his major accomplishments you had covid relief, you had infrastructure, you had the inflation reduction act, those were all bipartisan. even the gun bill. this is not something new to him. this does not mean that government is going to slog to some type of halt. because this president has actually said some things that many of us looked side eyed at him about. the first was that republicans were going to break their maga fever. everyone was like they crazy, this ain t going to happen. now they re talking about divorcing donald trump. he said he could get congress and d.c. back to bipartisanship. and all of his major accomplishments have been bipartisan. so, you know, when asked what is he going to change? i think the correct
