Democratic debate: Warren mocks men for losing elections

Asked if a woman can beat Donald Trump to become US president, Elizabeth Warren contrasted the electoral record of the male and female candidates on the debate stage.

The senator from Massachusetts noted that neither she or Senator Amy Klobuchar have ever lost an election they have contested.

The issue came up at the Democratic debate in Iowa hosted by CNN. Senator Bernie Sanders has disputed reports that he told Ms Warren in a private meeting in 2018 that he believed a woman could not win in 2020.
