The Iowa caucuses are only days away, and the race is tightening between four candidates: former Vice President Joe Biden; Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont; Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts; and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. As Sanders and Warren feud over the details of a 2018 meeting, the New York Times‘s editorial board gave both Warren and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, an additional boost with a joint endorsement for the Democratic nomination. At the same time, President Trump’s impeachment complicates the race for Sanders, Warren, and Klobuchar, who have to spend time away from the campaign and on Capitol Hill for the trial in the Senate.
My guest today is Naomi Lim, a politics reporter with the Washington Examiner.
On today’s show, we’re going to discuss the background of the feud between Sanders and Warren, how the New York Times’s editorial board affects the Democratic primary, and what the Senate impeachment trial means for the senators running for president.
