Thune says Senate Republicans "will not stand idly by" under Democratic majority
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said early Wednesday that Republicans will push back against Democrats now taking control of Congress, and will work with President Trump.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said early Wednesday that Republicans "will not stand idly by" as Democrats take control of Congress, according to The Hill and Fox News.
The Hill reports Thune said Democrats would try to undo the accomplishments of President Trump's first two years in office. He named two ways: raising taxes and restoring spending cuts to popular programs. The Hill also reports he said he was grateful Trump will still be in office.
Fox News reports Thune said Senate Republicans will work with Trump against "Democrat extremism." Fox described the election result as a rout. The Hill's excerpt does not use that term.
The reports do not say what the size of the Democratic majorities will be.
