The party’s incoming leader in the Senate, Senator Chuck Schumer, said on Sunday that he was willing to work with Trump on some projects where they could find agreement. “Surprisingly, on certain issues, candidate Trump voiced very progressive and populist opinions,” Schumer told CNN. “So we’re going to challenging President Trump to work with us on those issues where we can,” he added. We have 60 votes to block them.”Trump signaled his own willingness to negotiate with Democrats on Sunday, tweeting that he likes the “cunning” Schumer. Sanders has said he would be willing to work with Trump on trade, and criticized Democrats for willful blindness to inequality.
