Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) let fly a wide-ranging attack on business-friendly Democrats and their billionaire supporters, warning that her party risked cozying up too much to corporate interests as it tries to shed perceptions that it has drifted too far to the left. “I understand the temptation—in this moment of national crisis—to sand down our edges to avoid offending anyone, especially the rich and powerful who might finance our candidates,” Sen Warren said in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Vice President Kamala Harris (D-CA), the Democratic nominee for president, has chosen Gov.
