"When you elect a president of one party, often, states of the party that oppose that president have enormous ability to try to block or push back on directions that the president might want to go, especially if Congress can't function or pass legislation," said Barry Rabe, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan's Ford School and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
