Not to put words in his mouth but it sounds to me like he's for a nationally mandated minimum wage that isn't a fixed dollar value, but instead is calculated in each state according to some sort of local CPI-esque measure. So the national standard would be "you have to pay a reasonable living wage", and that standard would apply everywhere, but the definition of "reasonable living wage" would vary by state.
So it's not left to the states - the states in fact have no say whatsoever in what their minimum wage is - it's a mathematical exercise. Damned if I know where you find the figures to plug into the math equation, though.
