According to White,\u200d many Democratic \u200clawmakers are stepping \u2062forward to support Trump&#8217;s administration and policies because \u2064they are aware of their diminished influence, having lost congressional majorities. This cooperation\u2063 is seen as a strategic move, as Democrats recognize the potential risks\u200c to their \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democratic-fundraising-machine-removes-cuomo-donation-page-after-investigation-drops\/\" title=\"Democratic Fundraising Machine Removes Cuomo Donation Page After Investigation Drops\">future political prospects<\/a> if\u2064 they choose to\u200c resist Trump.
