With Democrats increasingly confident they will win control of the House next month and hopeful of a Senate majority, party leaders are planning a legislative sprint if they prevail. Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the New York Democrat who would be speaker, is planning to quickly pass broadly popular bills that undo Mr. Trump's most disliked policies within the first 100 hours. Democratic leaders believe these measures are consensus items that can bypass committee consideration and go straight to the floor.
They would be all but certain to pass in the House, where a simple majority is needed. In the Senate, Republicans would still have the ability to filibuster legislation, but some Democrats argue the first batch of bills are so broadly popular they could draw enough GOP support to pass and reach Mr. Trump's desk. Democrats expect their actions to set the conversation for the 2028 presidential campaign.
