"Hillary Clinton is embracing the left.
The Democratic presidential front-runner has long come under fire from liberals for what they consider a hawkish approach to national security and a too-cozy relationship with banks and other well-heeled interests.
The trend leftward reached a new level last
week, when Clinton introduced a sweeping $350 billion proposal to reduce
the burden of exploding tuition debt for millions of college students
and graduates — a provision included in the Progressive Caucus's budget
for the first time this year.
Clinton has also adopted proposals on immigration, education, voting rights and criminal justice that are winning strong reviews from leading liberal Democrats." TheHill
The Democratic presidential front-runner has long come under fire from liberals for what they consider a hawkish approach to national security and a too-cozy relationship with banks and other well-heeled interests.
But
on the campaign trail this year, Clinton has adopted a tone — and
rolled out policy after policy — that seems straight from the playbook
of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the benchmark of liberal
thinking on Capitol Hill.
Clinton has also adopted proposals on immigration, education, voting rights and criminal justice that are winning strong reviews from leading liberal Democrats." TheHill
