Democrats Want Biden to Out-Populist Trump

“A contingent of progressive Democrats and White House allies are privately urging President Joe Biden’s team to use Thursday’s debate to recast his candidacy as an attack on the billionaires and big businesses that Donald Trump has increasingly embraced,” Politico reports.

“These Democrats have pleaded with Biden’s advisers to adopt a more bluntly populist message as a response to two problems: that Trump is still winning over more voters on the issue of the economy, according to polls, and that many Americans remain unaware of Biden’s record of taking on powerful mega-corporations.”
