Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) will portray Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) as a friend to Wall Street -- not West Virginia -- during a campaign stop for Capito's Democratic opponent Natalie Tennant on Monday.
A senior Tennant campaign aide told The Hill that Warren is "expected to draw a stark contrast" with her own record as a member of the Senate Banking Committee to Capito's time on the House Financial Services Committee.
"I've seen Congresswoman Capito in action on the House Financial Services Committee, and time and again I have seen her put the interests of Wall Street banks ahead of the needs of working families," Warren said in a statement to The Hill.
