Bennet and Steyer at On The Issues
Sep. 9th, 2019 09:27 am
In July, I observed that "in the space of one day, Tom Steyer went from scores of 38 economic and 60 social to 30 economic and 73 social, making him jump from being tied for the third most moderate candidate, to the left of only Steve Bullock and John Hickenlooper, to being the twenty-second most liberal to the left of Tulsi Gabbard." Steyer has continued to move to his left, decreasing his economic score seven points from 30 to 23 while maintaining his social score at 73. He is now tied with Michael Bennet, who also has an economic score of 23 and a social score of 73 for the fifteenth most liberal candidates. That's a jump of seven places for Steyer and five for Bennet. It helped that three candidates to their left dropped out and another moved to their right.
Excerpted from Democratic candidates continue to drift leftwards according to On The Issues.
