Elizabeth Warren and Theresa May couldn’t be more different

The newsweeklies can’t wait until Labor Day to start their political drumbeats.

New York spotlights Sen. Elizabeth Warren — “Front Runner?” asks the cover line for a 10-page spread by Rebecca Traister. The New Yorker goes deep on British Prime Minister Theresa May in an 11-page profile by Sam Knight.

The women could not be more different.

Warren’s power-to-the-people beliefs are so persistent she named her puppy “Bailey” — after Jimmy Stewart’s George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

Her platform’s Bailey-like, too: “Reverse the new corporate tax benefits and invest in stemming the opioid crisis, bring college costs down, institute single-payer health care, regulate financial institutions,” Traister writes.

The author contends that Warren may be just the candidate these times demand — “left, female, and furious.” Really?

Unlike Warren, May is enigmatic.

“She sits, you talk,” a former Cabinet colleague says of the PM. “She looks at you, and then you leave.”

May’s also unable to zing like Warren — even though the magazine asserts “she can land a joke, if she has time to prepare.”

Despite being anti-Brexit, May rose to power two years ago — just 20 days after the vote to leave the European Union.

Many find her indifference to managing the task disturbing. May makes it all too clear, Knight writes, that “it is not how she would choose to spend her premiership.”

Both pieces are well-written — but not exactly beach reading for those looking to get away from it all.
