was "abused through the hearing." But Lightfoot's concern about how things unfolded nearly 30 years ago shows how potent the issue remains among some high-level Democratic officials and resonates after the rise of the #MeToo movement.
Lightfoot said she isn’t ready to pin herself to any of the Democrats vying for to replace President Donald Trump.Sign Up A few of them — Sens. Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren — called Lightfoot to congratulate on her historic win, but none of the presidential candidates have yet to ask her for an endorsement, she said. Lightfoot says she wouldn’t give one anyway. Still, she has plenty of advice and isn’t thrilled with the liberal lurch of the Democratic bench where Sen. Bernie Sanders , an avowed democratic socialist running for the presidency again, is shaping the debate.
“There’s significant movement as far to the left in our party as far as you can go, where people are trying to out-Bernie Bernie,” Lightfoot said. “I think in order to win, you have to win hearts and minds of people who aren’t as worried about social issues but about the economic issues.”
