The recently concluded Democratic national convention has ushered in a notable shift in US political rhetoric, focusing on freedom as a core campaign theme.
Joe Biden's campaign framed the preservation of democracy against the threat of Maga authoritarianism as its focal point, repositioning freedom as a key concept.
Historically, freedom in the US has been inextricably linked to economic security, as articulated during the New Deal and echoed in speeches at the convention.
Since the 1980s, Democrats have largely allowed the definition of freedom to be appropriated by Republicans, but they are now actively seeking to reclaim this narrative.
