Elizabeth Warren is trying to loosen Bernie Sanders' lock on the lemonade stand vote


No, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) didn't get conned into paying $7 for lemonade from an Iowa child's stand.
Warren, like nearly every other 2020 presidential candidate, is in Iowa for its annual state fair. But before she headed to pet some livestock, as any good candidate should, she spent some time emphatically praising the word "porch" and buying some seemingly overpriced lemonade on the side of the road.
To be clear, that wasn't one $7 cup of lemonade, but seven $1 cups for some people traveling with Warren.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) made the Iowa cul-de-sac rounds back in 2015, during his first presidential run. And as he made clear when he posed with a stand's handmade "Lemonade for Bernie" sign, he had the lemonade vote on lock.
Sanders hasn't been spotted making any fresh-squeezed purchases this election cycle around. But former Vice President Joe Biden, ever committed to his brand and Twitter bio, was spotted grabbing ice cream in aviator shades at the fair. Kathryn Krawczyk
