Political analyst Mark Halperin said Thursday that President-elect Donald Trump could build “unity” through persuading Democrats that they are mistaken on significant issues such as immigration.
Trump recently tanked a bill to fund the government before endorsing another bill that would have lifted the debt ceiling until 2027, but 38 Republicans voted against it. Halperin, on “American Agenda,” indicated that these moves disrupted Trump’s “momentum,” but suggested that if the president-elect can secure the support of “all Republicans” and “some Democrats” on vital policy matters, then he could regain it.

WATCH:
“Look, for the first part of the transition, Donald Trump looked like a colossus. He seemed to have a lot of momentum. The Democratic incumbent president seemed to be either a negative for his party or a zero,” Halperin said. “I think the caution for team Trump is what happened in the last few days, which is Donald Trump said, ‘Kill one bill, give me another bill, including raising the debt ceiling.’ And 30 Republicans said no.”
