    Progressive Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) wrote on social media late Friday that Democrats should force Trump to veto a litany of progressive policies from Medicare for All to blocking aid and bombs to Israel to taxing billionaires.

    “Make him veto Medicare for All,” he advised.

    Groundwork CEO Lindsay Owens called Schatz’s strategy “worrisome” on Saturday.

    “Trump vetoing bills to make healthcare cheaper is a good political outcome for Dems,” she wrote on social media, arguing that it would increase the likelihood of a Democratic victory in 2028.

      Yes this is a good strategy, and if it works, it proves that they need to pass all these laws the minute a scumbag isn’t in charge of the veto power.
