Warren rips Sinema over post-Senate influence career

Sen. Elizabeth Warren criticized big donors and cautious strategies, urging Democrats to adopt an aggressive economic agenda to regain working-class support, citing a 22% poll focus on cost of living.

  • On Monday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren outlined a big-tent vision at the National Press Club, Washington, D.C., singling out former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, Democrat-turned-independent, for blocking a minimum wage increase.
  • Two competing visions emerged within the Democratic Party: one that flatters fabulously rich donors and one that demands structural change, with Warren warning that Abundance has become a rallying cry for wealthy donors.
  • She cited Reid Hoffman, a Democratic megadonor, who donated $7 million and backed pro-abundance candidates, while a December CNN poll showed 22% of Americans prioritize the economy.
  • Warren's attack prompted the DSCC to defend its cautious approach, stating its goal is to win a Democratic Senate majority while Warren warned that fearing donors risks failure and urged an aggressive economic vision for 2026.
  • Momentum is building as top Senate Democrats, including Warren and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, launched a housing push last week while Warren urged rebuilding durable trust with working-class voters, citing Kyrsten Sinema's shift to crypto and AI advocacy.
