Elizabeth Warren lovefest ending as 2020 competitors fear her rise
Warren’s weak fundraising and Native American controversy out of the gate gave her the look of a second-rate candidate, and her rivals have treated her as such, even as she’s rebounded from those early troubles.
Warren’s supporters said the gripes amount to sour grapes from campaigns who didn’t take her seriously until she shot up in the polls, and are now watching with envy the organization she’s amassed while they were busy attacking each other. An adviser to a competing campaign, who spoke on condition of anonymity, echoed some of that sentiment. If Warren attacks someone else’s record on the debate stage, the person said, she will get it back in return.Harpootlian, meanwhile, said a reckoning is coming on Warren’s menu of policy proposals.
On social media this week, Bakari Sellers, Harris’ campaign co-chair in South Carolina, complained how the press handled a story about campaign workers who stayed at a Nevada hotel that was part of a labor dispute. Democratic hopeful Michael Bennet, who serves with Warren in the Senate, lightly criticized her this week over her support for “Medicare for All.”
Her decision to forgo big money fundraisers freed her up to bore in on her policy platform and political strategy. And generally, there's less personal animosity between Warren and the other camps: Her staff, for example, has been careful not to get into spats on social media with aides to other candidates; those kinds of spectacles have ratcheted up tensions between other campaigns.
