As the Democratic Party prepares to take control of Congress in January, concerns are mounting about the extent of the damage inflicted on the federal government during Donald Trump's presidency. Critics argue that the former president's policies and actions have left a lasting impact on the country's institutions, from the erosion of democratic norms to the depletion of critical government agencies. With the Democrats now poised to wield significant power, many are calling on the party to outline a clear plan for repairing the damage and restoring the integrity of the federal government. As the new Congress convenes, Democrats will face a daunting task in identifying and addressing the myriad issues that have arisen under Trump's leadership, and their proposed solutions will be closely watched by the public and lawmakers alike.


Trump has undoubtedly done more damage to the federal government than we know. It will take a long time to identify and repair it. Democrats should tell us how they’d jump-start the process in January with control of Congress.
