A blue wave has swept through the US Congress, with Democrats making major gains in the 2026 midterm elections. The statement laid out a 13-point list of policy areas where the administration expects confrontation with Democrats, ranging from immigration and taxation to energy, law enforcement, education and the judiciary.
“President Trump will never stop fighting,” the statement said, setting the tone for what is likely to be a contentious final two years of his term. “In the final two years of his presidency, Democrats will try — and fail — to reverse everything President Trump has done,” it said. “These efforts will fail; the American people have already rejected this agenda,” the statement said, pointing to border enforcement, energy production and the administration’s rollback of DEI programmes as parts of Trump’s record that Democrats would struggle to undo. The White House statement, however, made clear that Trump intends to resist attempts to dismantle his policy agenda, ending with a declaration of defiance: “President Trump will never stop fighting.”
But the White House has struck a defiant note, warning that the party’s attempts to undo President Donald Trump’s agenda over the next two years would fail. The statement accused Democrats of planning to roll back Trump’s policies on border security, immigration, energy and taxes, while also seeking to reverse his positions on transgender medical procedures for minors, diversity, equity and inclusion programmes, and censorship. It further warned of efforts to pack the Supreme Court and impeach the president. Among the issues flagged by the White House were a possible reopening of the border, higher taxes, changes to law enforcement policy and a revival of the Green New Deal. The statement also accused Democrats of seeking to restore transgender medical procedures for minors, reinstate race-based diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes, rebuild what it called a censorship regime and reverse measures against waste and fraud.
