Bennet Says Brother Was ‘Unenthusiastic’ About Bid

August 14, 2019 at 3:07 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) feels “terrible” his brother James, the editorial page editor of the New York Times, recused himself from the paper’s opinion coverage of the 2020 election because of Bennet’s run for president, BuzzFeed News reports.

Bennet said he talked with his brother about it for months before announcing his candidacy: “He was unenthusiastic about the prospect of my running.”
