Facing the dire threat of a second Trump administration, Democrats forged an unlikely but effective coalition that stalled Trumpism at the ballot box and enacted a raft of consequential legislation.

Big projects-say, modernizing infrastructure-get stalled in years of review. Endemic social problems such as homelessness become, well, more endemic.
