After the blue tsunami, Sudan is still common ground

The article argues that Sudan policy could remain an area of bipartisan cooperation after Democrats’ strong midterm gains, which it calls a “blue tsunami”. It says a shared approach matters because past US pressure and diplomacy helped support peace efforts and oppose abuses in Sudan.

The article cites the 2002 Sudan Peace Act, co-written by Republican Tom Tancredo and Democrat Donald Payne, which passed the House 359 to 8. It also points to sanctions maintained across the Clinton and Bush presidencies, a unanimous 422 to 0 House statement on Darfur, and a 2019 transition act jointly written by Democrat Eliot Engel and Republican Michael McCaul.
