“I feel you creeping over my shoulder,” Klobuchar told Cuomo as she answered a question about climate change. “Not in a Trumpian manner.” 

Klobuchar’s remark came as she answered a Harvard student’s question about how she planned to “include rural communities in the discussion on climate change.”

“This is what I say to my rural voters: I say look at what’s in front of you, because for too long we’ve been talking about it as more of a coastal issue,” Klobuchar said.

“Let’s talk about it for the middle of the country, where we need the political support,” she continued. “And I personally think someone from the Heartland could do a pretty good job of that.”

The joke, which drew laughs from the audience at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, appeared to be a reference to a 2016 presidential debate between Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonWhite House accuses Biden of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ with Trump election claim Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton qualifies to run for county commissioner in Florida MORE and then-candidate Donald TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE, when the real estate mogul was panned for following his opponent across the stage as she spoke.
