The Morning

Democrats who are winning.

We examine if populism is crucial to that appeal.

By David Leonhardt

Recent polls contain a surprising combination of results : Democrats appear to be leading in six tough Senate races even as President Biden trails Donald Trump in the same states.

What are these Democratic Senate candidates doing right? To answer that question, I studied their campaigns, looking at advertisements, social media posts and local news coverage. In today’s newsletter, I’ll highlight the single biggest theme that emerged: The six Democrats are basing their campaigns around a populism that harshly criticizes both big business and China.

(In a follow-up newsletter, I’ll look at several other campaign themes.)

It’s still early in the campaign, obviously, and some candidates who are leading now may lose in November. Still, most of the Democrats in these races aren’t merely ahead in the polls; they also have a track record of winning tough races by appealing to voters who are skeptical of the Democratic Party. I think that their use of populism is crucial to that appeal.

‘Corporate greed’

Successful campaigns, like movies and novels, tend to have heroes and bad guys. Republicans are comfortable with this idea. Their bad guys in recent years have included criminals, illegal immigrants and cultural elites. Democrats are sometimes squeamish about naming antagonists (other than Republicans) and prefer a higher-minded version of politics.

This year’s swing-state Democrats are not squeamish. They portray both China and big business as making life hard on working families. Here’s a flavor of what they are saying about corporations:

“I’ll never stop fighting to crack down on corporate greed,” Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio says in one ad.

Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania talks about corporate “greedflation” and “shrinkflation.” One ad, set to “Pink Panther”-style music, shows fictional C.E.O.s sneaking around a supermarket at night to shrink product sizes.

In an ad for Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin , workers talk about how “Wall Street greed” slashed their pensions and say that Baldwin “fought like hell” to restore them. Brown has run a similar ad, in which a truck driver talks about how Wall Street is trying to “screw Ohio workers.”

An ad for Senator Jacky Rosen of Nevada boasts that she “took on the big drug companies — and won.” Senator Jon Tester of Montana and Ruben Gallego, an Arizona congressman running for Senate , also criticize Big Pharma.

“The rich and the powerful — they don’t need more advocates,” Gallego says in an ad introducing himself to voters. “It’s the people that are still trying to decide between groceries and utilities that needs a fighter for them.”

‘The greatest threat’

The other main antagonist is China, which the candidates portray as using unfair trade tactics to undermine American jobs.

Tester’s first television ad of the campaign described China as “the greatest threat facing our nation,” Marissa Martinez of Politico noted . Baldwin, in one of her ads, says, “We can’t let China steal Wisconsin jobs.”

Casey and Brown have trumpeted their work on a law that requires the federal government to use American steel on infrastructure projects. “We were getting screwed,” a steelworker in Casey’s ad says.

In another Brown ad, workers at a washing-machine maker joke about his reputation for looking rumpled, disheveled and wrinkled — and say they don’t care because he fights to protect their jobs against companies that break trade rules.

Brown’s blue-collar reputation is central to his uncommon electoral success. He is the only Democrat to have won a Senate, governor or presidential race in Ohio over the past decade. He, Tester and Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia (who’s retiring) are the only Democratic senators who represent states that Trump won in 2020.

What about Biden?

This kind of populism, in which politicians promise to fight for ordinary people against the powerful, was once core to the Democratic Party. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman were more populist than many people now remember. Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign was notably populist, too, as was Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.

It’s true that almost all elected Democrats today favor some populist policies, like raising taxes on the rich. But as the party has become dominated by college graduates and white-collar professionals, it has tended to emphasize other issues, like climate change and cultural liberalism, that fail to resonate with working-class Americans. Remember — most Americans don’t have a bachelor’s degree.

Biden has shown some signs of running a populist campaign this year. (He has begun to emphasize Trump’s wealth, as my colleague Jess Bidgood has noted .) Still, Biden devotes more attention to Trump’s anti-democratic behavior and to what Biden calls “the very soul of America.”

Democracy is obviously a vital issue. So far, though, the polls suggest that pocketbook issues may be more resonant this year.

THE LATEST NEWS

Trump on trial.

The prosecution and the defense made their closing arguments in Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial. The jury will begin deliberating today.

Trump’s lawyer tried to undermine Michael Cohen, the prosecution’s key witness, calling him the “M.V.P. of liars” and “the human embodiment of reasonable doubt.” Read takeaways from the trial .

The prosecution walked jurors through their case over more than five hours, describing “a conspiracy and a coverup” and calling the hush money an “effort to hoodwink the American voter.”

Prosecutors also sought to bolster Cohen’s credibility. In a moment of stagecraft, one of them feigned a short phone call to show that Cohen could have spoken to both Trump and his bodyguard in quick succession, as Cohen testified.

2024 Election

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized the removal of Confederate monuments as “ destroying history ,” adding there were “heroes in the Confederacy who didn’t have slaves.”

Many of the Republicans angling to be Trump’s running mate have visited him in court or joined him at rallies. Senator Marco Rubio is trying a quieter strategy .

An early deadline threatened to keep Biden off the ballot in Ohio. To get around it, Democrats will nominate him virtually before their official convention.

Justice Samuel Alito said his wife flew an upside-down American flag in response to a neighbor’s insult. But the name-calling happened weeks after the flag came down, and the neighbor says Alito’s wife started the conflict .

The judge overseeing Trump’s classified documents case denied prosecutors’ request for a gag order . The request was a response to Trump’s claim that Biden authorized F.B.I. agents to kill him during their raid on Mar-a-Lago.

In Senator Robert Menendez’s bribery case, prosecutors showed private messages between Menendez and his future wife — what they say was the start of a conspiracy.
