Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., will deliver a speech this morning at the National Press Club, where she will emphasize that Democrats cannot win elections if they do not rebuild trust.
She will argue that Americans will support candidates “who name what is wrong and who credibly demonstrate that they will take on a rigged system in order to fix it,” according to speech excerpts shared by her office.
Warren will also lay out how Democrats build a big tent and caution Democrats against trying too hard to avoid offending people, “especially the rich and powerful who might finance our candidates.” She will also draw out a contrast of choices she believes Democrats will have to make in order to establish wider support.
“Either we politely nibble around the edges of change, or we throw ourselves into the fight,” she will say. “Either we carefully craft our policies to ensure that the rich keep right on getting richer, or we build a party that ferociously and unapologetically serves the needs of working people.”
