  "account": "Four leading Democrats are proposing ways to collaborate with President Donald Trump to achieve progressive policies, including universal healthcare, as part of a strategy to demonstrate their commitment to legislative work. Abdul El-Sayed, a new U.S. senator from Michigan, has proposed a \"TrumpCare\" plan, featuring a golden insurance card with Trump's signature and the words \"Medicare for All.\" James Talarico, a newly elected senator from Texas, suggested that Trump could achieve historical status similar to Lyndon B. Johnson, who was a master of congressional dealmaking. Hakeem Jeffries, who is set to become the next House speaker, has stated that he is open to working with Trump whenever possible to benefit the American people. All three Democrats are pitching their proposals to Trump to leverage his desire for recognition and to show that the Democratic Party is committed to hard work in legislating. The offers from the Democrats carry both practical and political applications, aiming to provide voters with bold changes before the next presidential term begins.",
  "summary": "Democrats who swept into power by riding voter backlash to Trump are now pitching ways to collaborate with the president, playing to his vanity and his love of making deals to propel their own agenda.",
