Biden says Elizabeth Warren, labor unions helped craft his economic policy

  1. "I am grateful to so many ― including my friend Elizabeth Warren, labor unions, and other progressive partners for their help in putting together this bold new set of policies aimed at healing our economy and ensuring good, dignified jobs for American workers,” Biden said in the email.
  2. Earlier this week Biden's campaign released a joint policy proposal authored by the presumptive nominee's team and the runners of Bernie Sanders's failed campaign; that proposal called for a voluntary nationwide Medicare-for-All program, long a key goal for American progressive activists.
  3. Joe Biden this week revealed that progressive senator Elizabeth Warren, along with labor unions, helped craft the economic policy he intends to put in place if he wins the White House in November.
  4. The admission, which Biden made in a fundraising email for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, offers further evidence of the presumptive Democratic nominee's leftward lurch as the November election draws nearer.
