then nominee to the supreme court. defeating borque and the person who was nominated to serve in his place, justice kennedy. he was deciding vote on marriage eequality, the reason women s right to choose is protected, civil rights limiting the scope of the death penalty and many things on down the line. he was chairman of the judiciary committee, senator biden, that fought and defeated robert borque. that s a bold, progressive win for folks all across this country and that s what we re running on. that s what we re reminding people about. this conversation to our team, beth, let me begin with you as we mentioned elizabeth warren getting a bump in some of these polls. what do you attribute that to? i was there in new hampshire when she got that huge reception. she has a very good team in new hampshire that packed that stadium, filled with their supporters, brought in the thunder sticks. it was loud. she gave a great speech.
clearly, she has a lot of energy in new hampshire right next to her home state. no question about it. we ve seen her rise in polling for months. little by little by little. top tier, no question about it, with vice president biden and with sanders. the problem that still exists is that senator sanders and warren are in a cage match with progressive voters. they re both ranking at the same level, 18, 17% most polling, allowing vice president bide toen hover above. until and unless the sanders/warren clash resolves itself in some way it s hard to see how joe biden gets brought down by the two of them, unless he makes a major stumble. did you want to weigh in on that? i m always concerned about the polls. you think about the poll right now, it tends to be older people, unanswered calls don t include young people.
candidate and other candidates in this race, their plans for the future. if the media talks to more actual people and doesn t look at twitter to do our reporting, we would see that merit in the coverage. it is an important part of the publicity and the coverage of all of this you can t deny that social media has not become part of the reality of our politics. you can t disregard social media saying it s not important to look at the stories out there. that s not what i said. i said social media is not the totality of the conversation going on. if you only look at social media, you re not getting the full conversation. that s why debates are important. right. might even, dare i say, helpful. vice president biden will use the opportunity at the debate in houston, texas, this thursday, to speak directly to the american people. a lot of people seem to talk about joe biden. you don t always get to hear his proposals and plans but you can expect to on thursday. symone sanders, thank
between president trump and the media and keeps going on and on and on. the republicans i talked to think this whole week talking about sharpie gate was ridiculously stupid and that i think in two kind of ways. as we talk about 2020 and what the president is doing, yes, he bloted out the suvn today, or this week, as he has always been able to do. no candidate for 2020 was able to get any message across and it did seep down. people not involved in politics are making jokes about sharpies and the like. i wonder, though, this is the exact type of story for folks who might have been more anti-hillary than pro-trump in 2016, find exhausting. that s why there s appeal to a joe biden that will settle the office down a little bit. there won t be as much politicization of the weather, so to speak. that s one of the things of how these stories are impacted. what have you heard from your colleagues at noaa as supposedly a scientific organization, has
vice president joe biden continuing to lead the pack. elizabeth warren is rising, six percentage points since july and kamala harris has faded slightly, fell four percentage points during the same time period. senior adviser for vice president joe biden s campaign, symone sanders and senior politics editor beth fuey. symone, from the sound bites we played there, no one mentioning the former vice president by name but eludes to something that the campaign has been running on. how do you see those comments? do you see those as a dig on the former vice president? i m going to let your panel pontificate on the punditry. that s what they re there to do tonight. i reject the notion that vice president biden is the safe candidate.
