"Bernie Sanders has entered a rough stretch in his 2020 candidacy. As my colleague Gabriel Debenedetti reports, his campaign has been struggling with how to handle the recent rise in the polls and in media attention of his Senate ally but presidential rival Elizabeth Warren. The Sanders campaign, typically in not-for-attribution comments, has been regularly pointing to an electability advantage their candidate has over Warren. And now, in an appearance on Chris Cuomo’s CNN show, Sanders himself has voiced the same argument, in a less-than-deft manner, as Tommy Christopher observes:

On Wednesday night’s edition of CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time, anchor Chris Cuomo described recent polling showing Warren catching — and even surpassing, in some cases — Sanders in the polls, and asked him, “What do you think the reason is that Elizabeth Warren is catching up to you in polls? Do you believe that people see her as the more electable version of Bernie Sanders?”

“Well, I think we are running against a lot of problems,” Sanders said, and then described two of those “problems.”

“I think that there are a certain number of people who would like to see a woman elected, and I understand that,” Sanders said. “There are people who would like to see somebody who was younger, and I understand that also. There are a lot of factors out there.”
