The comments came days after a New York Times report highlighted attacks Warren faced in her 2012 Senate campaign over her representation of LTV Steel, a Cleveland-based conglomerate, against the Clinton administration in 1995.
Warren had several other corporate clients, including travelers insurance and aircraft maker Fairchild, Dow Chemical and a railroad company that wanted to avoid paying for a Superfund cleanup, according to the Times.
Warren has centered her 2020 White House campaign around taking on corporations, and The Times noted that the Massachusetts senator also worked on a number of cases involving consumer bankruptcy and victims’ rights.
A spokesperson for the Warren campaign was not immediately available to respond to Harris’s remarks.
Warren has risen to the top of the primary field, leading in most polls alongside former Vice President Joe Biden
