Trump stuns Democrats with unexpected outreach on housing and cost-of-living crisis

Donald Trump has quietly reached out to top Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer to discuss the affordability crisis, a move Politico described as a striking and unexpected shift for a president with a long record of scorched-earth politics. According to Democratic lawmakers and White House officials, the conversations touched on housing costs, drug prices, and even Warren’s long-pushed plan to cap credit card interest rates — signaling a possible populist turn ahead of the midterms.
