| Gloves are off. Sanders and Warren are going after each other. |
The Vermont senator's second quest for the Democratic nomination is under fire for comments made about his former rival Hillary Clinton and current rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). His comments reflect on his campaign surrogates attacks on Warren.
Warren who is either tied with Sanders in most polls is saying her campaign is facing an onslaught of attacks on her positions before she entered the U.S. Senate. Same with Joe Biden, who was then a U.S. Senator and Vice President of the United States.
They are being hit from supporters of Sanders for positions they've previously supported.
Warren offered an explosive account of a meeting with Sanders in which he said he didn't believe a woman could win in 2020.
On Monday evening, after a day of her campaign declining to comment on the story, the candidate issued a statement confirming her recollection of the meeting.
"Among the topics that came up was what would happen if Democrats nominate a female candidate," Warren said in the Monday evening statement. "I thought a woman could win; he disagreed. I have no interest in discussing this private meeting any further because Bernie and I have far more in common than our difference on punditry."
Sanders denied the story which was first reported by CNN. He said it was a total fabrication.
The two will duke it out with Biden, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar.
Still with no clear frontrunner, its highly likely Donald J. Trump will win the reelection. The candidates running aren't strong enough to fight against him.
Biden and Sanders have failed in their quest to obtain the nomination the first time. What makes them think they'll win the election if they're the nominee?
Since Beto O'Rourke, Kamala Harris, Julian Castro and Cory Booker already used their card, it's going to be more harder for them in 2024.
