Though Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shot down a report that he told Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) a woman can’t win the White House, Warren is offering a different response.
A CNN story, citing four anonymous sources, claimed Sanders met with Warren in December 2018 where Warren shared how she believes she would be a strong candidate in the 2020 presidential election. However, Sanders apparently responded in saying that he didn’t think a woman can win.
Though Warren’s communication director initially declined to comment on the article, Warren decided to offer a response herself.
She wrote in a statement:
“Bernie and I met for more than two hours in December 2018 to discuss the 2020 election, our past work together and our shared goals: beating Donald Trump, taking back our government from the wealthy and well-connected, and building an economy that works for everyone.”
Warren continued, “Among the topics that came up was what would happen if Democrats nominated a female candidate. I thought a woman could win; he disagreed.”
