Obviously, the GOP will still be the pain in the ass it always is, but he may push for something like Medicare for all or other pieces of progressive legislation. He has nothing to lose.

Pretty much like now. Anything that does get through will be watered down bullshit, everything else will be filibustered and killed. Four more years of slogging. If the Republicans get both houses of Congress, he'll be using the veto pen a lot, I hope.
