The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act had bi-partisan support. Following 2008, Dodd-Frank Act was passed by Democrats, opposed by Republicans, signed into law by Obama in 2010. After multiple attempts by Republicans to repeal it, they succeeded in 2017 and 2018, without bi-partisan support, both partial repeals signed into law by Trump.
