Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell argues Democrats should adopt Governor Walz’s Minnesota policies as a national blueprint. She asserts his universal school meals, continuous Medicaid coverage for kids, college affordability, 100 percent carbon-free power by 2040, and paid family leave show prudent spending and broad appeal, while Republicans demonize him as radical.
