Vermont gubernatorial candidate, Christine Hallquist, sat down for an interview with CNN's John Berman to discuss being the first transgender nominee for a major political party. Hallquist won the Democratic primary for governor on Tuesday.
During an interview with CNN, Berman referred to a Gallup poll that found that socialism is much more popular among Democrats than capitalism. Hallquist was asked by Berman if those figures surprised her at all and whether or not she supports capitalism.
Hallquist affirmed she isn't really big on labels "because they're used to separate people."

Berman then pressed Hallquist again about her fondness for socialism and its structures.
