With less than a month to go before the elections, Sen.Bernie sanders expressed concern about Democratic turnout among working-class and younger voters.
During an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," the Vermont independent said that Democrats needed to frame an economic argument in a way that would reach voters who aren't swayed by the current messaging.
The level of voter turnout among young people and working people is something that I am worried about. The Democrats need to contrast their plan with the Republicans.
He asked what the Republicans were discussing. At a time when millions of seniors are struggling to pay their bills, they want to cut social security. Is that what we should be doing? Democrats should be taking that.
During his White House campaigns, he championed issues like raising the federal minimum wage, health care reform, and student loan debt cancellation.
The chairman of the Senate Budget Committee said that the party needed to pay more attention to the everyday concerns of voters.
He said that the Democrats need to contrast their pro-worker stance with the Republicans' agenda.
The president's policies were supported by the interviewer, who pointed to the problems caused by the coronaviruses and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"Inflation is a global problem caused by the breaking of supply chains, and a significant part by corporate greed, and, as I said, a significant part of inflation has to do with corporate greed," he said.
Democrats need to question Republicans about their plan to tackle inflation.
The Republicans have a response to inflation. He wanted to know what they wanted to do.
Maybe they want to reduce wages. Should the minimum wage be raised? He said that they don't.
Democrats are hoping that the Inflation Reduction Act will increase turnout among younger voters.
While Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan is currently on hold, the Department of Education is moving full speed ahead to implement the program, which could buoy Democratic chances in many of the most competitive races.
