Answered from Dems won. Now what? · Today, Explained · 2026-11-04
On Today, Explained, Rahm Emanuel argues the win only counts if Democrats deliver change in 2027. His list starts with a lobbying and ethics reform bill in the first two months, then a minimum wage of $20 by 2030 and a repeal or restriction of the tariffs he blames for rising prices. He expects bipartisan votes on all of it, which leaves Trump with a choice to sign or veto that Emanuel says Democrats win either way.
