While any cross-aisle dealings appear unlikely, Trump's positions some of his key agenda items appear to be strengthened by victories in the Georgia and South Carolina special elections Tuesday night.
Prior to Tuesday, analysts said the combination of the Russian investigations, public pushback, and a tight schedule could derail several of Trump's agenda items. With the victories, along with wins in the Kansas and Montana special elections, the political will to push on with healthcare and tax reforms may increase.
Edward Mills, an analyst at FBR & Company, said the results would bolster the chances of policy victories for Trump and Republicans in the coming months.
