Rival campaigns say Elizabeth Warren has gotten a free ride, but her allies warn that attacks will only backfire
“She’s promised about $50 trillion worth of benefits in the last 30 days. Her economics are fraud and at some point someone is going to point that out. She’s a multi-millionaire professor at Harvard. She can’t rail against the 1 percent — she is one of the 1 percent,” Harpootlian said.for her plans — from promising to wipe out student loan debt to universal day care — would come from an "ultra-millionaire" tax of 2 percent on family incomes of $50 million or more.
Democratic hopeful Michael Bennet, who serves with Warren in the Senate, lightly criticized her this week over her support for Medicare for All. But she weathered those attacks, and strategic decisions by her campaign have helped make her an elusive target. She began addressing her biggest obstacle, her previous claims to Native American ancestry, in 2018 by releasing a DNA test before she announced for president. That allowed some of the hardest hits to unfold outside the presidential race.
“The progressive movement has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win the nomination for the Democratic Party,” said Jonathan Tasini, who authored "The Essential Bernie Sanders and His Vision for America." “I don’t think we should do anything to undercut either candidate because the combination of those two forces, whether it be Warren or Sanders, whoever carries the flag to the finish, could win the nomination.
