2020 Democratic candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), one of the frontrunners in the race, is delighted that Wall Street is growing fearful of a potential Warren administration.
The hosts of CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” on Tuesday discussed how Warren’s electoral victory would be a “suboptimal situation for the banks.”
“Look I gotta tell you, when you get off the desk and talk to executives, they’re more fearful of her winning,” co-host Jim Kramer said.
Co-host David Faber also warned that if companies “want to get something done,” they should “think about doing it soon.”
“Come early to mid-2020, if Elizabeth Warren is rolling along, everybody is going to be like ‘That’s it,'” Faber said.
And that’s how Warren, an outspoken critic of the finance industry, landed a free campaign ad.
“I’m Elizabeth Warren and I approve this message,” the Massachusetts Democrat tweeted with a clip of the exchange.

That was a perfect response from Warren. Personally, I do wonder if the people panicking about her candidacy realize just how they are coming across in talks like these?
I can’t wait for the first clueless pundit to say, “Well, Elizabeth Warren may have made a major political mistake, since Wall Street executives are so beloved by the American voting public.”
i really love her response, she’s, got them running scared
While I appreciate the GOP trolling, if McConnell still runs the Senate, a President Warren won’t be signing any new laws to rein in Wall Street…
