Warren is facing criticism from the left and center on voters’ No. 1 issue: health care.
The senator from Massachusetts, who has firmly joined Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden in the Democratic presidential field’s top tier, has faced a barrage of critiques in recent days from campaigns who often claim she has received a free pass from the media.
The position has left her vulnerable to attacks from Sanders supporters as well as from opponents of Medicare for All, which would eliminate private health insurance and require the government to pay for Americans’ health coverage.
Biden echoed this line of attack during a Friday event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, suggesting Warren and Sanders were hiding the effect of Medicare for All. “You can’t beat Trump by not being straightforward about what it’s going to do,” he told a voter who questioned why he wasn’t supporting Medicare for All.
Green also claimed Warren’s “refusal to take the bait” was helping her with Democrats. “Republicans will inevitably make unfair attacks in the general election. We can’t live in fear of that. But we don’t need to give them Democratic validators.” One advantage for Warren is that the National Nurses United union, a major institutional backer of Medicare for All that endorsed Sanders in the 2016 cycle, has not yet endorsed in the 2020 presidential primary. Asked whether the union considered Warren’s stance adequate, NNU spokesperson Chuck Idelson would not respond directly, instead saying that if the union decides to endorse in the race, it will “certainly explain” how the endorsement is “consonant” with its priorities.
