Elizabeth Warren cast her campaign as a successor to past women-led movements against corruption and big business
NEW YORK — Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in a speech that drew thousands of supporters to a historic site in Lower Manhattan, on Monday made one of her most explicit appeals to female voters since announcing her bid for the White House.
“So, what did one woman — one very persistent woman, backed up by millions of people across this country — get done?” Warren said. “Social Security. Unemployment insurance. Abolition of child labor. Minimum wage. The right to join a union. Even the very existence of the weekend.” Besides Warren’s rhetoric, 64 percent of the people on the campaign’s payroll are women, according to a spokesperson, including the directors for the four early-voting state contests.
On the trail, there are some signs the strategy is working. In her town halls across the country, the crowds tend to skew slightly female, many sporting “Persist”-themed swag and tattoos. Many women and some men in attendance are frank about wanting to vote for a woman in 2020.
She described a cycle of factory owners doling out campaign donations, cozying up to legislators and blocking reform.
