The former vice president makes a dramatic move in the polls.
Joe Biden’s entry into the presidential race and Elizabeth Warren’s impressive performance on the campaign trail are bad news for Bernie Sanders.
“I helped lead the fight against [NAFTA]. He voted for NAFTA,” Sanders said in a Monday interview with CNN. “I helped lead the fight against [trade relations] with China. He voted for it. I strongly opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership. He supported it. I voted against the war in Iraq. He voted for it.”
Longtime friends, Warren and Sanders draw much of their support from the same progressive political base. The two met at Warren’s Washington condominium in December to discuss their presidential ambitions, with both ultimately deciding that there was room on the left for two progressives to run. This is a campaign of ideas—and you bet I have a lot of them. It’s about identifying what’s broken and how we’re going to make the structural change to fix it. pic.twitter.com/O2BNnsJJCA
“Warren is a point ahead of Sanders, which is well within the margin of error. But this survey does suggest that while Sanders has a hard-core base, he may have trouble expanding it, and there’s no sign he’s doing so now,” Shrum said. “Warren marches to her own drummer, with a rapid succession of substantive proposals, and has gained ground at the expense of Sanders — if this polling is right.”
Yet Warren is showing that her candidacy may not flame out quickly, as many pundits initially predicted. For Dean, who knows a thing or two about quick exits from a presidential race, Warren appears poised to emerge from the pack.
