Trump advisers are more worried about Elizabeth Warren than any other 2020 Democratic candidate
Sonam Sheth and Grace Panetta 2h
President Donald Trump's advisers are more worried about the rise of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren than any other 2020 Democratic contender, The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported.
Trump, who frequently derides Warren as "Pocahontas," is apparently convinced he can "hate-tweet her away," but his advisers don't share that view.
They also "see her ability to capitalize on the populist/outsider energy he ran on in 2016 and has tried to recreate despite holding office," Haberman wrote.
Warren has seen a meteoric rise in a narrowing Democratic field over the past several months. Most recently, three 2020 candidates dropped out within a week of one another: New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, and Rep. Seth Moulton.
The development could be a boon for Warren, according to Insider polling, which suggests Warren is best positioned with each candidate's base to capitalize on their departures from the race.

(49,044 posts)4. LOL at "meteoric rise." It's been a slow rise over several months. I have never, till the stories
about Warren by her fans, seen such a slow rise called "a surge" (as it often is), let alone "meteoric."
