Democrats vow to get ‘aggressive’ with Supreme Court after Trump ruling
House Democrats are previewing plans for a forceful legislative and investigative push against the Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents have legal immunity for “official acts.”
Why it matters: It is part of House Democrats’ effort to frame themselves in the 2024 election as a potential bulwark against unified conservative control of a federal government led by former President Trump.
- “Everyone is making that argument with donors” after President Biden’s poor debate performance last week, one House Democrat told Axios.
- “The only thing more dangerous than Trump winning is Trump with control of all three branches of government,” Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio) told Axios.
