'Why not?”
Elizabeth Warren said Sunday she believes Americans are ready for a presidential ticket with two women at the top, rejecting concerns from some Democrats that a woman can’t beat President Donald Trump.
Her comments come less than a week after California Sen. Kamala Harris abruptly dropped out of the race, prompting debate about whether a party that says it values diversity is shortchanging candidates of color and women. Other than Warren, the Democratic top tier is currently all male. They are also all white.
Her openness to teaming with Biden is notable because the two candidates represent distinctly different visions of the Democratic Party’s future. Warren has embraced calls for systemic reforms to the nation’s economy and health care. Biden has urged more pragmatic approaches and has specifically rejected Warren’s $20 trillion plan to transition the U.S. to a single-payer health care system as unworkable.
But her trip to South Carolina on Sunday suggests she won’t cede the state to Biden. She has upped her efforts to appeal to black voters, especially women. She delivered a well-received speech at a historically black college in Atlanta last month and a group of more than 100 black female activists endorsed her candidacy.
“If the only way we’re going to get a Democratic candidate is that you’ve either got to be a billionaire, or go suck up to the billionaires, then buckle up, because it means we’re going to have a government that just keeps working better for the billionaires and not for everyone else,” Warren said.
