Biden Bets on Weird Sleeper Issue

June 25, 2023 · 12:16 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Daily Beast: “Yes, abortion will motivate many Democrats to vote. Of course many moderates remain repulsed by Trump. But junk fees? Democrats are betting Republicans won’t have a good answer why they think you should face a surprise cost when you want to, say, book a vacation.”

“And more than just winning over voters because they’re trying to save consumers a few bucks, Democrats think the issue can actually be revealing of the GOP’s pro-corporate ideology… It’s niche, but it’s tangible—and his allies say that’s by design.”
