NEXT ON "MORNING JOE." .
. >>> A NATIONAL POLL SHOWS A
TIGHTENING RACE FOR SECOND
PLACE, JOE BIDEN DOWN 3 POINTS
WHILE SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS
FALLS TO 13%, JUST FOUR POINTS
AHEAD OF ELIZABETH WARREN.
SOUTH CAROLINA VOTERS SHOWS JOE
BIDEN FALLING 9 POINTS TO 27%
AND SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN
RISING 9 POINTS TO 17%.
THOSE NUMBERS WHY SUGGEST WHY
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S REELECTION
TEAM IS REPORTEDLY TURNING ITS
ATTENTION TO SENATOR WARREN.
ACCORDING TO POLITICO, TRUMP’S
TEAM CITES WARREN’S DISCIPLINED
STYLE, POPULOUS INFUSED SPEECHES
AND PERCEIVED ABILITY TO WIN
OVER FEMALE VOTERS FOR THEIR
CONCERNS.
CONCERNS. ONE CAMPAIGN POLLSTER HAS
SOUNDED THE ALARMS INTERNALLY
SAYING THAT SHE THREATENS TO
UNDERCUT HIS SUPPORT FROM THE
WORKING CLASS VOTERS WHO
PROPELLED HIM TO THE PRESIDENCY.
JOINING US, SHEILA, WITH A PIECE
"CAN ELIZABETH WARREN WIN IT
ALL?
ALL? SO CAN SHE?
SHE’S HAD A MESSAGE FROM THE
GET--
GET-- GET-GO AND SHE’S HAD A MESSAGE
HER ENTIRE LIFE AND I DO BELIEVE
THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE,
ESPECIALLY NOW WHEN IT’S THE
VOTERS THAT ARE BEING LET DOWN
THAT ELIZABETH WARREN HAS BEEN
FIGHTING FOR HER WHOLE LIFE.
>> SHE’S REALLY AN EXPERT ON THE
MIED.
MIED. SHE
SHE -- MIDDLE CLASS.
>> I BELIEVE ONE OF HER SENIOR
PROJECTS THAT SHE DID AT HARVARD
WAS ON BANKRUPTCY AND SHE SAT ON
BANKRUPTCY COURT AND LOOKED AT
THE PEOPLE COMING IN AND SAID
THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE WHO REALLY
TRIED.
TRIED. >> SHE COULD SEE FAMILY AFTER
FAMILY TAKING ON ALL SORTS OF
DEBT TO COMPENSATE FOR THE FACT
THAT SOMEONE HAD LOST A JOB AND
THEIR WAGES ARE NOT GOING UP AND
SHE PREDICTED WHAT IS GOING ON
ECONOMICALLY THAT HIMSELF LED US
INTO THIS LITTLE PICK THAT WILL
WE’RE IN WHERE YOU HAVE A LARGE
GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO FEEL THEY
ARE JUST NOT GETTING AHEAD
ECONOMICALLY, MEAN CHILD THEIR
EXTENSES ARE GOING UP.
>> EVERYONE I SPOKE TO SAID SHE
HAS THE BEST IDEA, I LOVE HER
MESSAGE, SHE COULD NEVER WIN AND
PEOPLE ARE NOT SAYING THAT NM
ANYMORE.
ANYMORE. SHE CONDUCTED THIS REALLY SLOW
AND STEADY AND SUB STABSTANCETIV
PAN.
PAN. CAM -- CAMPAIGN.
SHE IS SLOWLY WINNING PEOPLE
OVER.
OVER. >> HERE BASE HAS BEEN SO FAR
WHAT WE CALL HIGH-INFORMATION
VOTERS, MORE EDUCATED VOTERS,
WHITE VOTERS, MORE LIBERAL
VOTERS.
VOTERS. DOES SHE HAVE A PLAN FOR
ATTRACTING WORKING CLASS VOTERS,
FOR CROSSING OVER, FOR GETTING
MORE OF THAT BIDEN VOTE AND
EVENTUALLY IN A GENERAL ELECTION
SOME OF THE TRUMP VOTE?
>> ONE THING SHE POINTED OUT TO
ME DURING ONE OF OUR INTERVIEWS
THAT A LOT OF WHAT SHE SAYS IS
SIMILAR TO WHAT STEVE BANNON HAS
BEEN SAYING FOR A LONG TIME,
THAT BASICALLY AS LONG DEMOCRATS
AND TRUMP IN HIS CASE ARE
FOCUSED ON ECONOMIC ISSUES THAT
SPEAK TO MIDDLE CLASS VOTERS,
THEY’RE GOING TO WIN AND SHE’S
REALLY TAKEN THAT TO HEART IN A
WAY.
WAY. SO SHE’S BEEN REALLY IGNORING
ALL OF THE IDENTITY POLITICS,
THE KIND OF SOCIAL JUSTICE STUFF
THAT’S DOMINATED SOME OF THE
OTHER CAM PANS AND SHE’S JUST
FOCUSED ON DAY-TO-DAY ECONOMIC
CHALLENGES.
CHALLENGES. >> YAMICHE HAS A QUESTION FOR
YOU.
YOU. >> YOU JUST SAID SOMETHING
REALLY INTERESTING, WHICH IS SHE
HASN’T BEEN FOCUSED ON THE
IDENTITY POLITICS AND SOCIAL
JUSTICE ISSUES, BUT A BIG PART
OF THE DEMOCRATIC BASE IS
AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN.
AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN. CAN YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT
CONNECTION SHE THINKS SHE’S
FORMING WITH THAT GROUP AND
WHETHER OR NOT SHE MIGHT PIVOT
TO TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS?
>> I SAW HER ADDRESS THE AL
SHARPTON NATIONAL ACTION NETWORK
CONFERENCE HERE IN NEW YORK, AND
IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING, SHE
SPENT HER ENTIRE TALK SPEAKING
ABOUT CHILD CARE AND SHE HAD A
LOT OF DATA ABOUT HOW CHILD CARE
EXPENSES ESPECIALLY AFFECT
AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN.
AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN. I COULD SEE SHE WAS REALLY
MAKING AN EFFORT TO CONNECT WITH
THAT GROUP OF VOTERS.
SHE SAID, LISTEN, I HAVE BEEN
THERE, I HAVE BEEN A STRUGGLING
SINGLE MOM, TRYING TO FIND
SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS.
THIS IS WHAT’S HOLDING THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY BACK
ECONOMICALLY, THE FACT THAT
WOMEN DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO
AFFORDABLE, HIGH-QUALITY CHILD
CARE.
CARE. SHE RELEASED A PLAN THAT’S TO
PROMOTE INVESTMENTS TO PEOPLE OF
COLOR.
COLOR. SHE IS FOCUSING ON THAT.
I DON’T KNOW WHETHER THAT GROUP
OF VOTERS ARE GOING TO RESPOND
TO HER.
TO HER. WE HAVE YET TO SEE.
MANY OF THE CAMPAIGN EVENTS I
TENDED WERE IN VERY HOMOGENEOUS
AREAS.
AREAS. IOWA.
IOWA. >> THE ONE THING WE NOTICED
ABOUT HER IS SHE JUST LOVES
DOING THIS.
DOING THIS. THAT’S PART OF IT.
SHE WILL ONE VOTER AT A TIME
WORK THEM OVER AND ENJOY EVERY
MINUTE OF THE CONVERSATION.
WE’LL BE LOOKING FOR YOUR PIECE
IN THE LATEST ISSUE OF "THE NEW
