Former Obama speechwriter Favreau: 'Hilarious' some media outlets calling Harris a moderate
By Joe Concha - 08/14/20 03:36 PM EDT
Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau mocked some media outlets for referring to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as a "moderate," with the "Pod Save America" host calling the notion "hilarious."
"It was hilarious to me that she's being called, in all this coverage, a 'moderate,' like Joe Biden has found a fellow moderate or centrist. She supports something extremely close to 'Medicare for All,' which Bernie Sanders acknowledged in his statement supporting her. She's for the Green New Deal. She has one of the most liberal records in the U.S. Senate," Favreau said.
Harris, who was officially announced as Biden’s running mate on Tuesday, embraced a number of liberal policies during her own failed presidential bid, though she did not run as far to the left as fellow primary contenders Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sanders (I-Vt.).
