Warren and Sanders Share Union Endorsement: Campaign Update
Josh Eidelson September 26, 2019
Elizabeth Warren nudged past Bernie Sanders for first place in a presidential endorsement vote by members of a California health care workers union, though the group’s board gave its backing to both progressive candidates.
The National Union of Healthcare Workers endorsed Sanders in the 2016 race. Warren’s position as the leading candidate in the union vote Wednesday is yet another reminder of how she is increasingly moving ahead of Sanders and is challenging former Vice President Joe Biden as Democratic front-runner.
The 15,000-member California union says Warren got 61% while Sanders had 50% in the balloting, which let members make up to three choices.
Warren is making strong gains in national polls, including a Sept. 11-23 Quinnipiac University poll that showed her essentially tied with Biden.
Labor groups are an essential voting bloc for Democrats. Earlier this month, Warren won the endorsement of the Working Families Party over Sanders, dealing a blow to the Vermont senator and self-described democratic socialist. Sanders in August got an early endorsement from the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America. The 2 million member Service Employees International Union, which has not endorsed a candidate, is hosting the leading 2020 contenders at a forum in Los Angeles Oct. 4 and 5.
COMING UP
The United Food and Commercial Workers union will host forums in Iowa and Michigan with Democratic presidential candidates on Sept. 29 and Oct. 13. Michael Bennet, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have confirmed that they will attend.

Tulsi gabbard is now question elizabeth warren fitness to be president saying she hasn't seen any evidence that warren will be a good commander in chief. If anyone else had a doubt this despicable evil woman is a gop in dem clothing and a russian hack and trump supporter nothing else will. Peep the comments tho bernie supporters and his cult of followers are hoping she drags warren down the same way she did harris all so that imbecile bernie sanders can rise in the polls this is how evil and toxic their movement is and why bernie has been a stain on progressive politics.
Off topic: Krystal ball is a sanders hack and a toxic shill no one should take or trust anything she says

Bruh this shyt most be called out now! enough. This evil demonic hack and assad apologist definetly wants trump re elected. Notice how even despite the transcript released she is one of the only democrats to still oppose impeachment? This is a woman in a very blue and democratic district clinton won by nearly 20+ points. She wants to damage her like she did harris so 1. bernie can rise 2.make it easier for trump to get re elected. This demon must be called out.
This woman has gotta lose MASSIVELY in 2020. Enough of her. She's an agent. Pure and simple.

What about that clip is wrong? Warren stumbled on something that's clearly corruption when she's supposed to be anti-corruption.
By your own rationale, no one should be believe or listen to what you saying because all of a sudden you're a Warren voter. And therefore, according to you, you're not acting in good faith.
