A few things different between Biden and Trump that Robert Reich noticed

-Universal Pre-K
-12 weeks paid family & medical leave
-Expand anti-poverty tax credits

Trump’s 2nd term proposals:
-More tax cuts for rich
-Gut worker protections
-Mass deportations
-A new Muslim ban


Axios -  Democrats' advantage among Black, Latino and Asian voters is at its lowest since 1960, Financial Times columnist and chief data reporter John Burn-Murdoch found by analyzing a massive set of polling data.A   New York Times/Siena College poll out March 2 found that President Biden led former President Trump by just 56 points to 44 among non-white Americans. That's a group Biden won by almost 50 points when the two men last fought it out for the White House in 2020...

The drop-off comes even after Trump made several racist and bigoted comments about immigrants and people of color.It also comes after some Democratic talking heads predicted for years that racial and ethnic demographic shifts would give Democrats a political majority for decades. ... Not all people of color have deep ties to the Civil Rights Movement. Many of their families arrived in the U.S. after the 1960s, said Republican consultant Mike Madrid, who's based in Sacramento. Madrid said the Latino population was small during the Civil Rights era. Democrats' focus on abortion rights and the environment isn't appealing to some Latinos.
