Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Warren debuts new ads in late 'electability' push / YouTube videos of the ads
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/31/elizabeth-warren-electability-ads-109814Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign has begun to air two new ads on television and online, using the run-up to Monday's Iowa caucuses to make a closing pitch focused on electability.
The ads argue that the Massachusetts senator is the candidate best equipped to unite the Democratic Party next fall and seek to address the fear among voters that a woman can’t win because of entrenched sexism
The ads cast Warren as a unity candidate by reminding voters about the divisive 2016 Democratic primary and interviewing Warren supporters who caucused for Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton four years ago.
“We can’t afford a fractured party in 2020,” the ad begins, with Antonio from Clive, Iowa speaking to the camera.

As with her electability argument, the Warren campaign is also rolling out an ad in Iowa insisting that a woman could win in 2020. “To people that say a woman can’t win, I say nonsense,” says Stephen from Waukon, Iowa, an older man who voted for Trump in 2016.

I checked YouTube to find the ads, since they weren't included with the Politico article.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
