Trump Team Drafts Plan to Act Without Congress if Democrats Win Control

Senior White House aides have been preparing a strategy to pursue policy goals without congressional approval in case Democrats take control of Congress. Deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and budget director Russell Vought have worked with the White House Counsel's Office since April on this effort. The measures under consideration cover immigration, tariffs, housing costs, and federal spending. The details were confirmed by a White House official and two people familiar with the plans.
