Nicolle Wallace Insists Trump ‘Political Stunt’ Has ‘Completely Resuscitated’ the Dem Party: ‘They Were Flat-Lined’

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace argued on Tuesday that President Donald Trump has revived the Democratic Party with his federal freeze on grants and other programs.

Wallace claimed the Democratic Party was “flat-lined,” but Trump has given them a reason to rally against him by pausing federal programs that could affect his own voters. Democrats, she said, have “woken up” following the election loss of former Vice President Kamala Harris.

A federal judge this week temporarily blocked Trump’s spending freeze.

Wallace said:

Let me just add to what you’re saying, an observation I’ve had in the last 24 hours from pinging Democrats and, frankly, I’m inviting them on this show. What Trump has done, again, wittingly or unwittingly, is to completely resuscitate the Democratic Party. They were flat-lined spiritually, politically, basically since the election night. And what he has done is they have suddenly woken up. They remember why they’re there. They’re there to make government work the way it’s supposed to work. They’re there to keep their promises to all voters, whether they voted for them or not. And the thing that you just outlined, what Trump has done is Republican governors, whether they’ll go on Fox and say it or not, who knows, but Republican governors are going to have to align themselves with members of Congress who see the law the way David and Andrew just articulated because Republican governors have a bleep ton of voters who would like their services funded, their cancer research — and Republican governors are a lot closer to their constituents, sometimes they’re their neighbors. They can show up. They’re going to want to know why.
