Coalition
A coalition is an alliance of people, organizations, parties, or officials who work together toward a shared goal while retaining their separate identities. In politics, coalitions can support legislation, coordinate advocacy, or assemble votes around a proposal.

Example: A bipartisan group of senators negotiated with the Biden administration on infrastructure legislation that became the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58, in 2021.
Common misconception: Coalition members must agree on every issue. They usually cooperate on a specific goal while maintaining different priorities elsewhere.
