Now that the coronavirus has laid waste to the surging stock market and low unemployment, Democrats are discovering another obstacle — framing a coherent economic argument that all the party’s factions can rally around
For most of the presidential campaign, the economy looked like the one thing that could overcome Donald Trump’s stubbornly low approval ratings and carry him to a second term. Even many Democrats acknowledged they had no cohesive economic message of their own.
Jayapal added that Biden, should he become the nominee, will “absolutely” come under pressure from progressives to reconsider those policies ideas in light of the crisis. Longer term, Cecil said, “the economy and health care, which for most Americans is interconnected, are the central issues in 2020.”
One thing that nearly everyone can agree on: For a party that until recently feared the Republican president — though unpopular — could win re-election on the strength of the economy alone, the moment offers an unparalleled chance to make an airtight case against Trump. Robert Reich, the Clinton-era Labor secretary, said the crisis presents Biden with a unique opportunity to make policy changes that he might otherwise have difficulty explaining.
