Progressive: Dems Need Economic Vision

Democrats’ eroding “support among Hispanic and even Black voters without college degrees” is “mortifying,” wails Will Marshall at The Hill. “Workers who live paycheck to paycheck don’t think the party establishment listens to them.” Witness the “fixation on canceling student debt,” which “doesn’t even register when voters are asked to name their top concerns.” Dems need “suburban moderates and independents” and “Hispanic voters (who had a 16-point margin shift toward Trump in 2020)” and “non-college whites.” To get them, “champion US economic dynamism and growth” and “make economic patriotism . . . the centerpiece of a new growth and opportunity agenda aimed squarely at working Americans.”
