Progressive caucus urges Biden to act on wages, bank regulation and climate

Wishlist of leftwing policies also calls for executive action on trains and prescription prices to bypass congressional gridlock

The Congressional Progressive Caucus has urged Joe Biden to reinforce federal oversight of large corporations, increase wages for working people and address the climate crisis.

Outlining its 2023 executive action agenda on Thursday, the CPC offered Joe Biden an opportunity to deliver on a range of Democratic policy priorities, and stifle recent criticism from the left wing of his party, using the power of the executive pen.
