Wall Street reform has been a major topic along the campaign trail, especially with Democratic candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) attacking fellow candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her paid speeches given to Goldman Sachs.
Sanders has called for Clinton to release the transcripts of those speeches; however, when CBS This Morning asked Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) whether she thought Clinton should release her speeches, Warren did not say. Warren is credited with the language of the Dodd-Frank Act that established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
“Look, I think that our candidates are doing what they should do in a primary,” Warren said. “They are debating the issues.”
When host Norah O’Donnell repeated the question, Warren gave a similar response. O’Donnell then asked what it would take for her to give an endorsement.
“I don’t have a timeline [on making an endorsement],” Warren said. “What I’m glad to see is what’s happening right now, and that is Democrats are out talking about the issues. I think it makes it very distinct what happens between our side and what’s happening over on the other [Republican] side. They’re doing some kind of reality show; we’re out here trying to talk about the issues that affect American people.”
