Tom Steyer: The Interview

California businessman Tom Steyer was the next Democratic primary candidate to visit the editorial board for an endorsement interview. He's running as the only Democratic candidate who understands how the economy works, and if net worth is any measure, he might be right. The board questioned why the billionaire is the best messenger for progressive economic change, and press him on his claim that he is the top candidate to combat the climate crisis. Plus: union-busting, racism in America, and a tense exchange on Trump's impeachment. Listen to the bonus deliberation episode, also out today, to hear how the board reacted to Steyer's interview and for a conversation with board member Michelle Cottle on why billionaires think they'd be great presidents. Plus a look into how Trump's impeachment is influencing the 2020 election. Find the unabridged and annotated transcript of Mr. Steyer's visit to the board at nytimes.com/endorsements.
