A query about Wall Street for the candidates was framed by a quote by Sen. Elizabeth Warren about what she sees as a “revolving door” between Wall Streeters and the White House. Those ties can also be indirect, as we’ve seen during the current administration. In 2013, Lawrence Summers, the economist and former Harvard University president, withdrew from consideration to be chair of the Federal Reserve because of criticism of both his policy stances and his taking fees for speeches to financiers. Warren has been famously silent while Sanders and Clinton duke things out. She’d be a big get as an endorsement.
