How to use wedge in a sentence?

1. Matthew Pottinger:

   It's a worthy objective to try to drive a wedge between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, but at this point they're basically Siamese twins, you're not going to be able to pull those guys apart. This is a ten-year effort to stitch themselves to one another—driven primarily by Xi Jinping personally—to make Vladimir Putin his junior partner in a new axis.

2. Brent Welder:

   You have to convince them and you have to be honest about a progressive, populist economic platform, so that they don't get lured away by right-wing social wedge issues like they did by Donald Trump, and I think the Democratic Party for far too long has been straying from a bold, populist economic message. That's the reason we keep losing.

3. Jeremy Ben-Ami:

   Perhaps the biggest mistake the prime minister has made is allowing his speech to be the wedge that has driven that argument more public.

4. Jonathan Westin:

   Perez coming in at this time only further drives a wedge in the Democratic Party, what we're seeing play out, in a microcosm here in New York, is that the party elites are out of touch with where the base of the party is at.

5. Sara Jacobs:

   I heard a male Democratic politician once say that we need to stop talking about wedge issues that divide people, and instead focus on things that affect people's everyday lives, and then he went on to say, we need to stop talking about things like abortion, we need to stop talking about things like racism and we need to focus on things like infrastructure and health care, as if reproductive health care isn't the predominant health care that that me and most women, and most people, trans men, are dealing with right now. I think it's important that we include it fully in whatever health care reforms, health care overhauls, we end up doing.
