So he ran as a protector of the two programs that middle-class folks view as theirs and as a hedge against an impoverished retirement.
"Trump may try to reclaim his own party’s nomination – by reprising his 2016 campaign’s rejection of Tea Party austerity and attacking potential rivals as libertarian dogmatists who don’t care about the middle class," writes Ross Douthat in. So"the non-Trump GOP can expect to spend the looming presidential race facing similar attacks from the Biden White House and the Trump campaign.
