Democrats won on affordability. Can they deliver it?

President Trump told CNBC he could work with Democrats on "many more things than people understand".

Healthcare might be one of them.

Yaros sees the possibility of a big political trade-off: Democrats agree to extend Republican tax cuts in return for restoring health insurance subsidies. But he doesn't expect a deal until late 2027, with the economic benefits arriving in 2028. That's a long time to wait for anyone struggling with bills today.

Democrats could also turn up the pressure on businesses.

Henrietta Treyz of consultants Veda Partners says Democrats will question companies that passed on the cost of tariffs to customers.
