New York CNN —There’s a popular idea in political discourse known as the horseshoe theory.
The idea is that if you map ideologies on a horseshoe-shaped spectrum, the far right and the far left are actually more closely aligned than the centrists on either side.
Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley is another young buck (44 is the new 24 in Congress) who’s all-in on Trump and positioning himself as an advocate for workers.
“Pro-worker is raising the minimum wage, ensuring people get overtime, supporting paid sick and family leave,” Terri Gerstein, the Director of the NYU Wagner Labor Initiative, told CNN.
“Playacting as working class by dressing up in jeans and acting aggrieved doesn’t do anything for real working people who are struggling.”
