The last time I would say the opposition party didn't intensely oppose the President was Reagan and before that was Eisenhower. In both cases, there was a unique reason for that


for Eisenhower, it was that he was a popular War Hero

For Reagan it was that large parts of the Democratic Caucus in the House and the Senate were Republican Lite.

The idea that there was intense opposition from congressional Democrats to Dubya in the couple of years after 9/11 is seriously laughable. A majority of Senate Democrats voted for the Iraq war.

So 2/8 years they didnt intensely oppose him but the other 6 (especially the last 4 and a half) the amount the Left opposed Bush was as intense as you can get.

Depends on who the president is.

I think Kamala Harris would face the most opposition from Republicans. Simply because she's a black woman.

From Congressional Republicans I would guess it would be Bernie Sanders
