>any time they need sixty votes in the Senate, the Democrats have leverage.

And how many votes are needed for every executive order he signs? None, is the answer. The tarrifs required not one single vote from congress.

There won't be any votes that require 60 in the Senate that will happen for trump to continue his awful agenda.

Please tell us where exactly Democrats have any power, and be specific.

I already mentioned the budget. If Republicans want to pass any actual tax cuts, that's another opportunity.

I didn't claim Democrats have absolute power, but they do have some.
