Warren Urged by NOW Not to Endorse Sanders: He Has 'Done Next to Nothing for Women' [View all]
https://www.newsweek.com/warren-urged-national-organization-women-not-endorse-sanders-1490872In an interview with Associated Press, NOW President Toni Van Pelt urged Warren not too "rush into" anything.
"She has a lot of leverage right now. We do trust her to make the right decisions on how to proceed. But we'd like her not to rush this," Van Pelt said.
"We think that our constituents, our members, will not necessarily think of Sanders as the best choice," the NOW chief continued.
After all, she said, "we wouldn't have the Violence Against Women Act if it wasn't for Biden's leadership."
