“To be clear, I talk about race very explicitly,” Steyer said when asked why he is making considerable gains in the Democratic race in this key early state. He argued that his willingness to step out on a policy ledge, so to speak, makes him appealing to voters of color who might feel ignored by others.“I believe that in every major policy area, there is an unspoken area about race,” Steyer added. “For instance, I’m saying climate is my No. 1 priority.
