John King: The Candidates Are Pulling the Democratic Party too Far to the Left

‘The candidates are pulling the Democratic Party to the left on health care, immigration, taxes, climate, corporations’

KING: "The candidates are pulling the Democratic Party to the left on health care, immigration, taxes, climate, corporations. The candidates, most of them anyway, want more government say-so, expansive and expensive policies like Medicare-for-all, carbon taxes, busting up corporate titans. The marquee takeaway, many of the candidates in 2020 believe in solutions that veer left of where the country was in 2018, 2016, 2012, 2008, or in any modern presidential election. The big question we can’t answer until the voting starts next February, are those candidates in sync with their own party or too far to the left? Are they in sync with the country or too far to the left?"
