The editorial
Source: The Hindu · 14 Nov 2020The U.S. President-elect has vowed to rebuild the middle class, but will have a hard time finding the middle ground.
In his first speech after winning the election as the 46th President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden promised to rebuild the middle class as the “backbone of the nation”. A “middle class” presupposes a political centre, a vantage point from which policies could be determined to secure the greatest good to the greatest number. That centre could be difficult to find after a bitter election campaign and a contest much closer than predicted.
