Former Vice President Joe Biden expressed deep skepticism of the leftward tilt of the Democratic Party in an exclusive interview with CNN airing Friday.
Biden, speaking with CNN’s Chris Cuomo in Des Moines, Iowa, suggested that “Medicare for All” is irrational, argued that the majority of Democrats are “center left” not “way left,” and said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, while “brilliant” and “bright,” did not represent Democrats who can win a general election in a competitive district or state.
Describing the party, the former vice president said, “Look, it’s center left, that’s where I am. Where it’s not is way left.”
Biden’s clearest policy difference with the left – health care – was evident during the interview, too.
“I have a plan how to do that that’s rational, that will cost a hell of a lot less and that will work,” Biden said about health care, slamming Medicare for All, the liberal-backed proposal that would mandate Medicare as the single-payer system for all Americans.
Der kom skillet i USA, og blir spennende å se om han vinner primærvalget på å være sentrumsorientert. I så fall er jeg nesten sikker på at han kommer til å slå Trump i presidentvalget uansett hvordan økonomien går.
