Democrats, Republicans alike focus on states’ rights as a way out of America’s political woes

Both Democrats and Republicans are increasingly emphasizing states' rights to navigate America's political challenges, with Democrats now advocating for greater autonomy for state governments to push back against President Trump's federal policies. This renewed focus on state power reflects a broader trend where state legislatures become central battlegrounds for national policy debates. This shift underscores a potential realignment in American politics, where states could play a more prominent role in shaping national policy, especially in a divided federal landscape.
