Warren Names Three High-Profile Lawmakers as Campaign Co-Chairs
Katie Porter has been a strong, articulate spokesperson for progressives. It is great that Warren has her in her camp.
https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/campaign-wire-election-2020/card/1574452933
Sen. Elizabeth Warren named three prominent women to be co-chairs of her presidential campaign: freshmen Democratic Reps. Deb Haaland of New Mexico, Katie Porter of California and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
Ms. Pressley is one of the four Democrats referred to on Capitol Hill as "The Squad." The other three "squad" lawmakersReps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota have backed Sen. Bernie Sanders in the party's presidential primary.
The three new campaign co-chairs are poised to be some of Ms. Warren's most prominent surrogates, and they each bring something to the table. Ms. Porter is a native Iowan and has campaigned with Ms. Warren there. She's also a longtime Warren protege and former student.
Ms. Pressley has emerged as one of Ms. Warren's most visible African American supporters. The impact of her backing was on display Thursday night in Atlanta, when Ms. Pressley helped calm protesters who interrupted the senator during a speech at a historically black university.
