The 2020 winner must rebuild an economy slammed by COVID-19. Trump has an edge but Biden seeks to be the Main Street choice to Wall Street's Trump.
President Trump and Joe Biden both campaigned in Minnesota on Friday, a longtime Democratic bastion that’s now a battleground state.In recent weeks, the Democratic challenger — who initially cast the campaign as a battle over “the soul of a nation,” then focused on Trump’s chaotic response to the COVID-19 pandemic — has increasingly taken aim at the president’s advantage on economic issues.
It’s an argument aimed squarely at working-class white voters who backed Barack Obama in 2008 but switched sides in 2016 to vote for Trump, especially in key industrial states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. Progressive Democrats and others who’ve urged Biden to inject more economic populism into his pitch are applauding. “He’s moving in the right direction,” longtime Democratic strategist Stanley Greenberg, a past critic, told me. “He’s offering a more powerful contrast with Trump.”
With his far-reaching responses, Biden not only offers a contrast with Trump — the Republican Party failed to offer a platform for the first time in its history this year — but has also united his own party, from deficit-conscious moderates like himself to free-spending progressives like former rival Bernie Sanders.“The Democratic Party has moved to the left big time — not because of ideological arguments, but based on the facts of the case,” Jared Bernstein, a longtime Biden advisor, said.
