Democratic leaders in Congress are coming under criticism from liberals who fear the party is spending too much time battling President Trumpand not enough building an economic agenda.

They worry that Democratic leaders are falling into the same trap as Hillary Clinton in 2016, when her relentless attacks on Trump eclipsed her own plans for the country.

Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) have unveiled a variety of ambitious proposals, such as raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and creating a national system of paid family and sick leave.

But the Democrats' “Better Deal” agenda has been overshadowed by regular battles with Trump over the Russia investigation, controversial nominees, immigration, guns, efforts to undermine ObamaCare and the president’s $1.5 trillion tax cut.

“You can’t win just by saying how awful Trump is,” said Roger Hickey, co-director of Campaign for America’s Future, a liberal advocacy group. “We need a positive economic agenda and it’s got to be bigger and bolder than just the conventional nostrums of the past.”
