Tom Steyer gets his big moment by awkwardly interrupting Bernie Sanders’ and Elizabeth Warren’s post-debate exchange

Date: Jan 15 2020

  • Presidential candidate Tom Steyer found himself in the middle of what appeared to be a tense exchange between Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders after Tuesday’s night’s debate in Iowa. 
  • Video footage appeared to show Warren rejecting a handshake from Sanders and engaging him in a serious conversation, while Steyer got in the middle and attempted to shake Sanders’ hand.
  • “It was one of those awkward moments where I felt like, OK, I need to move on as fast as possible,” Steyer told CNN.
  • While Sanders and Warren, the two progressive standard-bearers of the race, have refrained from attacking each other so far, their non-aggression pact is breaking down as the Iowa caucuses loom.
