Sen. Elizabeth Warren criticized her party on Monday for taking a “tepid, nibble-around-the-edges approach” that appeals to big donors but not ordinary people — taking a jab at Senate Democrats’ campaign arm in the process.
She said in a speech at the National Press Club that Democratic candidates too often avoid taking bold stances.
“If we’re being honest, that approach has also been a good way to appeal to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee as they decide which primary candidates they will support,” she said. “But it doesn’t take a political genius to conclude that in a democracy, when the choice is between ‘make the rich richer’ and ‘help everybody else,’ winning elections is about choosing ‘everybody else.’”
