A Tale Of Four Massachusetts Political Figures And The 2020 Race
Former Massachusetts governor and current Utah Senator Mitt Romney made waves Wednesday when he broke with his Republican colleagues to vote for President Trump’s conviction in the impeachment trial. Meanwhile, Bill Weld, a rare fellow Republican rebel, continued his primary challenge against Trump, although he only gained one delegate to the president’s 38 in Iowa.
On the other side of the aisle, presidential candidate and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren reportedly shifted her campaign strategy following an apparently disappointing showing in the Iowa caucus, while former Gov. Deval Patrick focused on campaigning in New Hampshire ahead of that state’s primary next week.
