Elizabeth Warren is aggressively pitching policies in Bernie Sanders' wheelhouse.The massive student loan cancellation plan she rolled out is just the most high-profile example.
Warren also said she backs the concept of reparations for black Americans and was the first to back a longstanding House bill to study the issue. Sanders later said he’d also sign that legislation if Congress passed it.
As for things like the filibuster and electoral college, Sanders’ backers say the difference between him and Warren is tactical, not ideological: He believes in forcing change through a political revolution, while she wants to alter what she says are unfair rules in order to pass that change through Congress.
“By coming out of the gate strong with fully baked policies, others will either be seen as following her lead or falling short as they address issues like child care, affordable housing, student debt, corruption, monopolies, and taxing the rich,” said Adam Green, the co-founder of Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which backs Warren. “Elizabeth Warren is clearly winning the ideas primary — and it's inspiring voters.
