Analysis: As Iowa kicks off the presidential voting season, Democratic voters will take on the question of whether they're a party of center-left pragmatism or bold populism.
“It’s going to have major consequences if the FDR side of the party wins. It shifts the paradigm completely. We will essentially be shifting to a more socialist form of government,” said Adrienne Elrod, a Democratic strategist and former senior adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. “The Obama wing of the party has a totally different vision of how to achieve shared goals than the FDR wing of the party.
Warren is also competing for the mantle of Roosevelt, the father of the U.S. safety net who signed Social Security into law and built a movement to transform the U.S. “She is the FDR I'm looking for — to make big structural change that virtually everybody wants, except in the insurance industry and big pharma and Wall Street,” Rep. Andy Levin, D-Mich., a Warren surrogate, told reporters.
Trippi said the clash of visions is less important to the party’s voters than the question of who can defeat the president, and current surveys show pluralities of Democrats believe Biden is best-positioned to win the general election. “Democrats would happily take either one of those paths if they thought that was the path that could beat Trump,” he said.
Whether Democrats can usher in an era of radical change depends on the magnitude of a far-from-certain victory — including whether the party recaptures control of both houses of Congress.
