is a Capitol Hill Correspondent for NBC News. She covered the 2016 and 2020 presidential contests from primary to inauguration — on the ground and with the candidates — as well as the 2018 and 2022 midterms, from across the country and in the nation’s capital. She is @alivitali on both Twitter and Instagram.It was past 3 a.m. on Iowa Caucus Night and we were barreling through the air from DesMoines to Manchester.
Warren hosted more than 100 campaign events in the Hawk-eye State, but her final gatherings and media appearances hinged around a simple and centralized message: Women win. Of course, it’s always been there. When voters or pundits or operatives wondered about “likability” or “viability,” what they were really asking about was “electability”: Can this person? And gender informed those answers in an incalculable, but substantive, way. Especially in 2020, when the question wasn’t just about winning; it was about beating Donald Trump.
Looking to lower the temperature on the Warren situation the next day, Sanders said he had “hundreds of employees” on his campaign and that “people sometimes say things that they shouldn’t.” As for him? “I have never said a negative word about Elizabeth Warren, who is a friend of mine,” he said. The publicly friendly sentiment between the two progressive campaigns was restored — until just before noon the next day.
“I believe strongly what we are talking about here is a lie,” he told my colleagues at NBC who covered the Sanders beat in a phone call. “I believe that [Warren] should come out and say, ‘Yeah, that is not my recollection of events. Of course, Bernie Sanders does not believe that. Bernie Sanders has been a friend and … has always supported me when I needed him.’”
As much as Warren’s team was not relishing the prospect of a public, progressive blowup on the coming debate “CNN reported yesterday, and Senator Sanders, Senator Warren confirmed in a statement, that in 2018, you told her that you did not believe that a woman could win the election. Why did you say that?” CNN’s Abby Phillip probed.
“I disagreed,” Warren replied. “Bernie is my friend, and I am not here to try to fight with Bernie. But look: This question about whether or not a woman can be president has been raised and it’s time for us to attack it head-on. And I think the best way to talk about who can win is by looking at people’s winning record. So, can a woman beat Donald Trump?
Spotlight on: A beltway writer's document folder
uhhh remember that candidate in 2016 against whom ya'll waged total war ?
Bullshit. Liawatha is making this up (again) in some lame attempt to stay relevant.
The fact you don't have Hilary as the picture for this is precisely why.
Unsurprisingly the replies are attacking Politico for daring to speak any criticism of Clinton in 2016. if any criticism against her 2016 campaign is valid a good 2/3rds of voting democrats will lose all philosophical grounding they have in life so it's not very surprising
maybe because try-hard pick-me imbeciles like alivitali just couldn’t help but equate the email lady with the gangster maybe just maybe
look in the mirror there's your answer
Yes, yes, why indeed 🤔
4 words 'American Media' and 'Jim Comey'
And then when they got off the plane everyone clapped right?
This has, 100%, absolutely never happened.
its not gender for me ...its ideology....
So you're saying you voted for Hillary.
She’s lying about that comment ..
will the book explore hillary’s hubris in 2016
I’d like to see a woman as POTUS, but not so much that I’d vote for one I thought wouldn’t be good for the country. I hate it when candidates who are women play the misogyny angle. It’s stupid and beneath them and indicates to me that they are not ready for the office.
You didn’t have that white woman in WH & you never will because Black Democrats can’t stand her. She’s not poster child for this discussion. HRC is.
Politico could have written a more definitive book on it using its own articles from 2016 elections.
What’s a woman again?
Terrible candidates …..seems most likely reason.
I have a good idea, I just looked at past Politico articles on Clinton and now on VP Harris, you hate women and convince Americans any who run are the worst candidate ever.
This picture turned me off. I know far too well why a woman isn’t in the White House. misogyny/press etc.Not sure where you’re going w/this but if it’s centered around Warren who’s done little to nothing to support/bond w/other women leaders due to ambition/jealousy, I’m out
Because of rags like yours.
Y’all still trying to make FETCH happen. It won’t be her NEXT
Because you & your ilk did everything you could to get Trump elected in 2016. You thought it would be good for business to have an ignorant, racist, misogynistic, narcissistic, compulsive liar to write about for 4 yrs. You didn't care how much harm would be don.
Also in the upcoming magazine: we interviewed a bunch of frogs while they boiled in water... 'why's it so hot in here?' they kept saying...
We could have, but the press shit their pants over her emails. Still waiting for the appropriate and proportional level of pants shitting about Trump stealing nuclear secrets.
Cause the ones that have run are not qualified by the voters, see Hillary Clinton
As I tip toed in to the comments I thought, don’t scream when all the comments are from men… and then…🤬🤬🤬
Ah, you apparently forgot about Obama.
Because the Left can’t define a Woman
They have to be non-binary or I will never vote democrat ever again
Gee, gender matters in presidential politics? Can't wait for the next shocking revelation!
Why?! Because every candidate - regardless of gender - has been utter crap and people picked a familiar… success-adjacent.., from Obama. If Jill Biden was his VP, we’d have one for the same reason.
How is the historic VP doing ! We just need a viable candidate and sooo many good people won’t run for any Fed office due to media and the onslaught of evilness the media and other parties opposition will put on them. Now we just get egotistical narcissists.
Over the 50% of the US population is female so…
american democracy is joke.. bunch of old white boomer dudes circle jerkin.. til that generation is gone nothing will change.. oh yes also add: a nation held hostage by religious ideologues to the list
The electoral college is the reason the United States of America hasn’t had a woman in the White House.
I thought Harris is a women. Has she transitioned recently?
