What policies will Democratic congressional leaders prioritize as they take control of Congress in early 2027?  According to Baron’s latest research identifying the 20 “Super Influencers” on the organizations guiding the Left, reducing income inequality by increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy will be among their first orders of business.

“Class solidarity, rather than identity politics, drives a strong majority of the Super Influencers.  Following President Donald J. Trump’s 2024 victory, Democratic strategists and politicians alike assessed that an over-emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues contributed in large part to their electoral defeat.  This list of Super Influencers reflects the Party’s priorities: championing organized labor, lowering health care costs, and taxing the wealthy.”

Baron's latest research identifies the 20 “Super Influencers” who most inform the policy leaders of the Nationalist-Populist movement.

"Departing from the previous generation of conservatives who focused on broad themes such as GDP growth, free trade, and democratization, the current group of Super Influencers prioritizes improving day-to-day conditions for average Americans who live outside of major cities.
