In seven hours on CNN, the leading Democratic candidates showed the first signs of weaponizing climate change in the primary campaign
"We have seen, I think, an arms race now, in a good way, of candidates competing to have the most effective plans," Washington Gov. Jay Inslee told CNN.
But he added if Goldman was in fact connected to the company, Western LNG, "I will not in any way accept his help." Warren said she “proudly adopted” many of Inslee’s proposals. Castro, who this week released his own plan to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045, offered a “shout out” to Inslee for the work he did in his campaign, while Harris quoted him directly.
“From my standpoint, what I’m saying is an order of magnitude different from what everybody else is saying,” Steyer told POLITICO of his approach to climate change. “What I’m saying is this is job one, and no one else is saying that … There’s no one else [in the primary field] who has a history of actual action on this of any kind.”
Brown, who ran unsuccessfully for president three times, said it would remain difficult for a Democratic presidential candidate to try to win an election solely on climate, an issue he said is “not like losing your job, or being denied treatment at a hospital, or being unable to find shelter.”
