With little change in the balance of power, Democrats and Republicans are likely to continue to struggle to find common ground on major issues. The two sides were unable over the past two years to agree on a public works package known as a bonding bill until a special session last month. And they’ve bitterly split over whether to continue to allow Democratic Gov. Tim Walz to deal with the coronavirus pandemic via executive orders, with few checks and balances from the Legislature.
