Dems offer ‘Better Deal’

- Marisa Schultz

Democratic leaders traveled to rural Virginia on Monday to tell working-class Americans President Trump doesn’t have their back — but they do.

They unveiled a new 2018 campaign platform called “A Better Deal” and argued that they can deliver higher wages, lower consumer costs and better training opportunit­ies if voters return them to power.

“President Trump campaigned on a populist platform talking to working people . . . But as soon as he got into office, he abandoned them,” Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer said in Berryville, home to Virginia’s 10th Congressio­nal District, which Democrats hope to win in 2018.

“We Democrats are going to fill that vacuum.”
