On Thursday, the Boston Globe harshly criticized the idea of Sen. Elizabeth Warren running for president in 2020. Warren’s name has repeatedly come up on the list of possible contenders to challenge President Trump in the forthcoming election.
The Position of the Boston Globe
Put simply, the publication branded Warren as too divisive in order to serve as an effective opponent against the president. The Boston Globe also criticized Warren for failing to run for office in 2016.
According to them, “there’s reason to be skeptical of [Warren’s] prospective candidacy in 2020.” However, the publication did praise Warren as an “impactful senator.” This came shortly before Boston Globe noted the acceptableness of “testing the waters and deciding to stay on the beach.”
Possible Democratic Candidates in the 2020 Election
As 2019 approaches, Democrats are seeking viable contenders to challenge President Trump in the forthcoming election. Aside from Warren, other names to make the list are Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, and even Hillary Clinton.
