"It's 2022 and we are celebrating policy victories across the nation: Medicare for All and Free College, and next on the agenda is Reparations," read a flyer distributed at the secretive Democracy Alliance donor conference last April, outlining a dream agenda they hoped the party could embrace by 2022.
Harris, asked during an interview last week whether she supports "Some form of reparations for black people," said she did.
The New York Times says the embrace of reparations by Harris and Warren "Signals just how quickly prominent Democrats have expanded their political imagination after decades of dominance by the Clintons and Mr. Obama."
A Rasmussen Reports poll last year of 1,000 likely voters found 70 percent opposed reparations to black Americans who can prove they are descended from slaves.
A Marist poll conducted in 2016 found that 68 percent opposed reparations to descendants of slaves, and 72 percent opposed reparations to African Americans in general.
Neither Harris nor Warren has laid out exactly how they envision reparations being paid.
Neither the DNC nor McAuliffe, who is viewed as a 2020 contender, responded to requests for comment on reparations.
