## Key points

- He predicts more than 20 Democratic presidential contenders.
- He says progressive proposals may shape the 2028 race.

## Summary

Former Republican press secretary Ari Fleischer argues that Democrats’ newly won control of Congress will have limited legislative effect because President Trump can veto bills. He says the greater impact will be on the party’s direction and the 2028 presidential race, as lawmakers and potential candidates use the next year to promote progressive policies.

Fleischer predicts more than 20 Democratic candidates could enter the race, drawing parallels with the 29 contenders in 2019–20. He says proposals such as Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, ending support for Israel, expanding the Supreme Court and creating new taxes may be advanced even without enough votes to overcome a veto. In his view, these efforts could build support for future Democratic administrations, though the article presents this as his political analysis.
