Most Democrats Aren’t Motivated to Oppose Donald Trump: New Poll

Most Democrats are not motivated to oppose President-elect Donald Trump as he prepares to take office, despite half saying they feel “scared” about what he will do as the country’s leader, according to a post-election poll published on Sunday.

Earlier this month, Democrats took a loss as Trump secured the popular vote and 312 Electoral College votes to win a second term in the White House, beating out Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Over the past few weeks, Trump has begun his transition back to the Oval Office, having previously served as the 45th president. He is the second U.S. president to take office again in a nonconsecutive term, the first being President Grover Cleveland.

Down the ballot, the Republican Party retained their majority in the House of Representatives, and flipped the Senate, gaining control with 53 seats. (Read more from “Most Democrats Aren’t Motivated to Oppose Donald Trump: New Poll” HERE)
