Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Here's what bugs Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bennet about the front-runners
Yahoo FinanceMichael Bennet didnt make the debate stage, but he has some thoughts about the rest of the field.
During an appearance on Yahoo Finances On the Move on Friday, the Democratic Senator from Colorado ran through the shortcomings he sees in the candidates who did make the stage.
When asked if he watched Wednesdays debate, he said he saw part of it and wanted to jump through the screen basically for the entire hour and a half. The Senator missed a decent chunk of the debate, which had a total running time of closer to two and a half hours.
What bugs me the most is that we're not focused on an agenda that will actually unify the Democratic party and win back some of the 9 million people who voted twice for Barack Obama and once for Donald Trump, he said, adding that the solution is staring at us in plain sight.
Speaking of two of his fellow senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren Bennet said that "getting sidetracked on Bernie's ideological commitment and Elizabeths ideological commitment to Medicare for All isn't going to make a difference for the kids that I used to work for the Denver public schools."
