During the 2016 campaign, multiple observers made the case that Trump forced others to react to his pet issues by hammering them again and again. Indeed, over the weekend, Trump tweeted about an Associated Press-NORC poll stating that immigration was among the top concerns for 2019. Is it possible that, after 18 months as a candidate and two years as president, Trump’s ability to set the agenda has been compromised? Ocasio-Cortez demonstrated an ability to set the agenda in a manner similar to Trump. But I wonder if he would like the fact that Trump no longer has a monopoly on agenda-setting in D.C.
