Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) said Democrats remain split over how seriously to treat President Donald Trump’s second term and must adopt a tougher posture on Capitol Hill to counter it.
Speaking at an Axios News Shapers forum in Washington on July 23, the Michigan Democrat said that the party’s real divide is no longer progressive versus moderate but between those who see Trump’s second term as an existential danger and those who view it as merely undesirable. She put herself in the first camp of viewing the president as a threat.
