Instead of being the party of “no,” Democrats could be the party of “maybe” during Donald Trump’s presidency. Democrats on Capitol Hill will try to block much of Trump’s agenda during the next four years. But there are some areas where the incoming administration and minority Democrats could find room for cooperation, including infrastructure, trade deals, the minimum wage and entitlements. Both sides risk a serious backlash from their respective bases if they pursue too close of an alliance, but there are potential upsides, as well. For Trump, using the opposing party could help him cobble together the votes needed to push parts of his populist agenda through Congress. And for Democrats, it’s a way to exploit divisions between Trump and Hill Republicans to achieve some of their policy goals. With that in mind, here are several policy areas where Trump and the Democrats could join forces.
