No one has ever won a major statewide race, let alone a presidential nomination, with a single-issue, climate-focused candidacy. But Jay Inslee is about to try

.

shift — expressed in public opinion polls and in renewed focus on climate change in the Democratic-controlled House — is providing Inslee a small opening. And it is forcing other, higher-profile Democratic presidential contenders to address climate change more explicitly than in any previous presidential campaign.

In recent weeks, the introduction of a “Green New Deal” in Congress — a 10-year plan to decarbonize the American economy — refocused public attention on climate change. While Republicans lambasted the nonbinding resolution and welcomed debate on what they framed as a far-left overreach, several Democratic presidential contenders quickly signed on, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kamala Harris of California and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

Zzzzzzz

Uhh guy? That's been done before. Democrats have been running on climate change for like 2 decades. It works in the cities but Democrats already have the cities. And do you really think this shit is going to fly in the rust belt? You're dreaming! Go economic populism or go home.

Anyone who thinks that Climate Change is this country's FIRST priority, should join GreenPeace and stay out of politics.

I'm new to this planet Help me to understand I hear of this global warming But see snow and ice covered land … … … …

SAD since in my part of Washington today we are having record snow and cold. In March. Inslee is a joke.

We all have one' Enemy in common. The invasion of Natural Disasters , upon our planet.

If only we give politicians more money and more control over our individual lives they'll not only save us but the entire planet. LMAO! 😂🤣

No he's really not because he doesn't oppose the USAmerican empire in any meaningful way

Wants to defeat climate change but can't quantify it or prove it 😂😂😂

And continue to push this unprovable assumption to justify govt’t control and taxation.

Who? Lol. Hurrr durrr climate change hurrr durrrr. Loser. They all should just save a lot of time, effort, and money and not run becayse nobody is going to beat Trump 2020

He's more likely to unify the 'New' Democrats and the Berniecrats than anyone else. He should see if AOC is up for appearing with him. She's too young to run herself and he's right on her top issue. For the 'New' crowd, he's a functional successful governor.

Bad roll out. We are more than single issue voters

He can start with Aisa and India, if that works out we'll listen to what he has to say.

Well sir. It's will be nice to see you will lose but keep trying to be relative.
