'Among the modern Republican Party, labor unions are particularly despised.'
finds that a populist economic message highlighting Democratic legislative successes, such as the American Rescue Plan and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, as well as bills the party still aims to pass, such as the pro-labor Protecting the Right to Organize Act and the omnibus Build Back Better plan, more than doubles the party's margin in battleground districts and states.
If the moderate wing can be brought along, and if Biden can exercise decisive leadership, Democrats have the opportunity to benefit both their own political fortunes and U.S. workers by speaking to broad economic discontent and by embracing class politics. But if they don't, the party runs the risk of allowing Republicans to seize on this discontent by falsely claiming to support the working class—when in fact the GOP has nothing to offer workers but more rhetorical gamesmanship.
