'The country needs a centrist approach,' the billionaire and former Starbucks CEO said.
Potential 2020 presidential candidate Howard Schultz has once again hit out at Democratic progressives, claiming the leftward bent of some of the party’s most prominent members is too much for him to stomach.
Continuing his attack on Sanders, Schultz said the Vermont senator “has been running for president for... four years, and he has not demonstrated—in my view—any level of discipline in regard to how he is going to have to pay for any of the things he is suggesting, let alone Medicare for All.” He added that there “is a better solution to fix the healthcare problem,” though did not elaborate on what he thought that was.
As a Jewish-American himself, Schultz said he recognized “a rise of anti-Semitism in America, which concerns me.” If he did decide to run for president, Schultz explained, he would do so “as an American who happens to be Jewish.” Though he is yet to officially announce his candidacy, Schultz has been traveling around the U.S. to meet voters. He said a common complaint among Americans is that “they want common sense solutions to these problems, and a Democrat or a Republican is not going to give it to them.”
