Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) campaign is reportedly seeking "de-escalation" with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) after the beginnings of a feud appeared to flare up.

A CNN report Monday alleged that Sanders in a private meeting with Warren in 2018 argued a woman couldn't win the 2020 presidential election, citing four anonymous sources. Sanders called the report "ludicrous," while his campaign manager called it a "lie." But Warren subsequently made the accusation on the record, saying, "I thought a woman could win; he disagreed."
