CNN admits Dems are 'powerless' amid GOP takeover of federal government

CNN admitted that Democrat lawmakers in Congress are facing an uphill battle as to how they will advance their agenda without holding a majority in either the House or Senate. The White House is also in GOP hands after the recent election gave it to President Donald Trump. CNN reported that Democrats are starting to confront their “powerlessness” as the president has come into office and has been executive orders aligned with his agenda as well as working with GOP lawmakers to push legislation through Congress.

The outlet said that they are “essentially leaderless, with prospective future presidential candidates largely sitting back and allowing others to be the first ones” to challenge the GOP and Trump. Democrats are hoping to counter Trump and the GOP with the upcoming mid-March budget deadline, but as Trump and Elon Musk work to cut back in different government agencies, the Democrats have been making attempts to show what is going on by gathering outside of the buildings that DOGE staffers are auditing.
