MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell gushed over a campaign event Monday that saw Hillary Clinton team up with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and referred to the first-time appearance of the political duo as “magic.”
“[I]t did seem like magic on that stage,” the cable news anchor said after the campaign event had concluded.
Former White House communications director and MSNBC contributor Anita Dunn concurred, adding, “Andrea, it’s hard to describe. I think that — but I think Democrats across the country probably looked at this event and thought they saw a pretty good winning ticket for the fall. The chemistry looked very real.”
Mitchell laughed, “Even their colors seem to match. [Laughs] And blend in with each other.”
Warren joined Clinton on the campaign trail for the first time Monday, as the two teamed up for an event that included them railing against presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.
Mitchell continued, adding that the Warren and Clinton duo reminded her of the “boomer magic” of the Clinton/Gore presidential ticket from the 1990s.
“I was on those original bus trips. All of the bus trips actually with Bill Clinton and Al Gore and of course their spouses, and there was something that was, you know, that was the boomer magic,” she said. “That was a generational shift from what had preceded it across the country. And you got a little taste of that today.”
It’s more than just that, Dunn added. As women, Clinton and Warren continue to make political history.
“You, you look at Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton up there today, and you also had a sense of a page being turned where women cannot only run for president, win their party’s nomination, but an Elizabeth Warren can go on TV and say yes, I am qualified,” Dunn said.
