THE NOTE: Tom Steyer's campaign launch video sounded at times like something Sen. Elizabeth Warren might have scripted—but his vow to self-fund his campaign is pretty much the opposite of what Warren and others are trying to achieve, rickklein writes.
Is there room in a crowded primary for a billionaire? What about one who almost certainly won't make the next debate?
With lines about"banks screwing people on their mortgages," Steyer's campaign launch video sounded at times like something Sen. Elizabeth Warren might have scripted. Second-quarter fundraising totals have revealed fascinating disparities between cash hauls and polling standing. He tweeted on Tuesday:"With the evidence available more than a decade ago, federal prosecutors insisted that Epstein go to jail, register as a sex offender and put the world on notice that he was a sexual predator."
His campaign told ABC News that Steyer has used his wealth to fight systemic failure, donated it"to progressive causes" and is using the money to"fight corporations."
