New York businessman and former Hillary Clinton bundler John Catsimatidis says he hears from some Iowa Democrats that Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren could beat the former secretary of state and first lady in a Democratic primary. Speaking on Bloomberg News, Catsimatidis said Clinton still has to win the primary, despite having little in the way of competition at this point.
“One of my staff members who’s from Iowa called his friend in Iowa who’s the Democratic chairman of Iowa, and if the election was held today, he said that our lady friend from Massachusetts would beat Hillary,” said Catsimatidis, who has raised millions of dollars for various aspects of the Clinton family. “So is that scary? That’s the Obama faction.” Watch the video below:
Barack Obama defeated Clinton in the 2008 Democratic caucuses, which began his path of winning the nomination for president that year.
Warren, the first-term senator and former Harvard law professor, has repeatedly said she is not running for president in 2016.
