The Democratic candidate has backed raising the current minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to at least $15.
If it was actually a plan – rather than a flailing reaction to a fading campaign* – they’d not be announcing this now.
*No, I don’t know. But I’m seeing a lot more of my personal sign out there. If Matt Yglesias thinks the Ds are doing OK then he continues to be statesmanlike and both sides have their merits etc. If he thinks they’re losing then he’s a vituperative little bugger. He’s vituping a lot at present.
