This has become a very popular idiom (or perhaps a cliché) in the world of politics. When a politician says something is a "victory for the middle class," he or she is usually referring to a bill in congress, or a proposed new law or policy that, if it is enacted, will help average working people to become more prosperous and financially secure. Many politicians say they want to help the middle class, because "middle class" can refer to just about any average person, so voters easily relate to it. Further, it's a way of being seen as someone who truly cares about hardworking Americans (or Brits, or Canadians, etc), rather than being seen as someone who only cares about the wealthy and powerful.
