With far-left candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the rise, some Democrats are probably hoping Joe Biden’s brand of center-left populism will make a comeback. The best way to do that is nominate Joe Biden.

Though Biden has yet to make a decision on that front, he’s campaigned on behalf of several midterm candidates in recent weeks. At a rally in New Jersey on Wednesday, Biden declined to mentioned President Trump by name, but slammed “raw, naked nationalism” and “phony populism,” according to an account in NBC News.
