WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren found herself the favored target of her White House rivals during Tuesday’s presidential debate, with moderate Democrats repeatedly arguing she is too liberal to beat Republican President Donald Trump in next year’s election.
Afterward, Warren spokeswoman Kristen Orthman said the Massachusetts lawmaker “took heat” as the result of her momentum but stayed focused on her plans. “That’s how Elizabeth will win the nomination, beat Donald Trump and make big, structural change,” Orthman said. Warren’s tax on wealth, not just income, would apply to households with a net worth of $50 million or more. Those households would pay a 2% tax on every dollar of net worth beyond $50 million and a 3% tax on every dollar of net worth beyond $1 billion. The tax would affect just 75,000 U.S. households but generate $2.75 trillion over a decade, according to independent estimates.
Warren has sworn off hosting big-ticket fundraisers for her presidential campaign and does not accept support from a type of well-funded political action committee known as a Super PAC. She rejects large contributions from executives in the fossil-fuel industry, big pharmaceutical companies, large tech companies, big banks, private equity firms and hedge funds.
Warren has said she would decriminalize migration by immediately issuing guidance to federal prosecutors that they not pursue cases related to administrative immigration violations. She would also separate immigration and law enforcement agencies into separate entities, and reshape the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement “from top to bottom.”
