[See NewsBusters for more.] If you ask CBS, there sure are a lot of moderate Democrats running for president. During the early stages of the 2020 race, CBS This Morning political correspondent Ed O’Keefe has labeled numerous liberal candidates as “moderates.” He’s not even totally sure if Kamala Harris, the Democratic Senator from California who just dropped out, is a liberal. On Wednesday, he told the This Morning hosts: “The other issues are that, you know, for much of the year you couldn't tell —  voters would tell us they couldn't tell where to place her. Was she a liberal like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders?” He added, “Or was she more of a middle of the road moderate like a Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg who had emerged casting a very clear message of 'I'm a more moderate figure.'”
