<p>Scott Jennings, often CNN&#8217;s sole Republican commentator on panels, gave his take Thursday night on why some Democrats are looking to have a relationship with President-elect Donald Trump in the wake of his massive election victory.</p>
<p>Mayor Eric Adams of New York City is set to meet with Trump on Friday at Mar-a-Lago. Rumors circulated that Adams is angling for a pardon in the wake of his indictment on charges of bribery and wire fraud, but the Democratic mayor has also indicated he wants to work with the incoming administration and has been critical of the Biden administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;One, I think the hysteria has subsided, thank God, over Trump,&#8221; Jennings told the CNN panel. &#8220;Number two, it makes a lot of sense to me why Eric Adams, the leader of a large city, would want to have a relationship with the president because New York City is one of the most impacted cities by the illegal immigration crisis.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨 SCOTT JENNINGS: People are rushing to meet with Trump because people respond to leadership. They&#39;ve been desperate for some leadership, now they&#39;re gonna get some. <a href="https://t.co/Nk1xDWNqWO">pic.twitter.com/Nk1xDWNqWO</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) <a href="https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1880241218392846667?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 17, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Number three, people respond to leadership,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And we haven&#8217;t had any for the last four years. So now you have a strong president coming in, no wonder, they&#8217;ve been desperate for some leadership, now they&#8217;re going to get some, and they&#8217;re meeting with the president to find out what they can do together.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the other panel members erupted laughing at Jennings&#8217; last point.</p>
<p>Jennings also shared his thoughts on prominent Democrats, including Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi, skipping Trump&#8217;s inauguration.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think people should go where they want to go and do what they want to do. I don&#8217;t really care all that much,&#8221; Jennings said.</p>
<p>He added that he is hoping for a peaceful next couple of years.</p>

<p>&#8220;This is the first election in my adult professional career that both parties seem to have accepted the outcome of the election. There doesn&#8217;t seem to be any dispute thankfully this time about who won,&#8221; Jennings said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think we&#8217;re off the slippery slope. That&#8217;s my view,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I hope these little slights don&#8217;t alter that, but I feel like we are about to go into a couple of years — I&#8217;m just going to try to will it into existence — of political peace. We haven&#8217;t had peace in a long time. And I think that&#8217;s what the American people said when they voted for this unified Republican government.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s presidential inauguration will take place on Monday. Due to potentially dangerously frigid temperatures, it will be held inside the Capitol Rotunda rather than outdoors.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113844745273237387" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on Truth Social.</p>
