Joe Biden likes to boast that he is the most pro-union president in American history. His fondness for unions, though, has been tested by a wave of strikes. In office, President Biden has regularly voiced support for workers, and handed unions more power. But white working-class Americans, once his party's reliable base, now mostly vote Republican. Can Democrats win back working-class voters?The Economist's Simon Rabinovitch assesses Joe Biden's union credentials. The Economist's James Bennet ponders one of the great “what-ifs” of American political history.

The perfect weather and booming economy of the City of Angels has drawn in generations of California dreamers. But now America's second-largest city is getting smaller—losing both population and businesses. As the Hollywood strike has revealed, the high costs of housing, living and running a business are pushing Angelenos away. Can the city reverse the big shrink? But is a smaller Los Angeles even a problem?The city's mayor Karen Bass and a picketing actor lay out the affordability problems facing the city, while Shannon Sedgwick of the Los Angeles County Economics Development Corporation explains what is behind the business exodus. We revisit the city's past boom days, and Hans Johnson, of the Public Policy Institute of California, explores how to bring them back.John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon.You can now find every episode of Checks and Balance in one place and sign up to our weekly newsletter.

And what will it look like?Representative Mike Gallagher, chair of the House's China Select Committee, along with Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, the Democratic ranking member, discuss the committee's aims and possible achievements.

Joe Biden has been on the road this week, touting his administration's investment in American manufacturing. His government has embraced a “place-based” industrial policy, explicitly directing tens of billions of dollars to boost struggling regions. The bet is that the money will leave thriving economies and grateful Democratic voters in its wake. Will “place-based” policies help the bits of American that have been left-behind?We join Congressman Ro Khanna on a tour of former manufacturing towns, and he tells us why he thinks “place-based” policies work.
