Just do it on a per-State level. That way blue states can push their minimum wage up without having to worry about pandering to red states. There is a reason we are a federation if States.
I feel like some degree of mandatory minimum requirements established at the federal level that’s adjusted and implemented per state would be the best case scenario. Obviously minimum wage in California or Texas simply shouldn’t be the same as in Ohio or Wyoming. It really should be more reflective of cost of living of the specific location.
But also, if you leave it completely up to the states with no mandates from the federal level, enjoy seeing $7.25/hr indefinitely in places like Texas.
What part of anything being discussed here is holding back blue states? Blue states generally have higher minimum wage. A nationwide increase of minimum wage would by and large lift red states up while doing little or nothing for many blue states lol

If that’s what they want to vote for, let them vote for a low minimum wage🤷♂️
Blue States shouldn’t have to be held back because Red States are too busy fighting culture wars to tackle actual problems.
