‘Climate Candidate’ Inslee Likely to Miss Climate Event He Fought For
Washington Governor Jay Inslee has helped catalyze Democratic discussion on climate change, but he’s struggling in the polls
Washington Governor Jay Inslee, the 2020 Democratic candidate who has tied his entire platform to the issue of climate change, may not make the stage for a CNN town hall on the climate crisis scheduled for next month.
