Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Sen. Bernie Sanders told her in 2018 a woman couldn't win the presidency, following a CNN report Monday. Sanders denies it.
"Among the topics that came up was what would happen if Democrats nominated a female candidate," Warren said of the meeting with Sanders in a news release Monday night. "I thought a woman could win; he disagreed."CNN first reported Monday that, according to four sources, during the 2018 meeting Sanders had told Warren he did not believe a woman could win.
"Warren said Monday she had"no interest in discussing this private meeting any further" because"Bernie and I have far more in common than our differences on punditry.""I'm in this race to talk about what's broken in this country and how to fix it -- and that's what I'm going to continue to do. I know Bernie is in the race for the same reason," she said.
