Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts who is angling for a 2020 presidential run, is not yet lending a wholehearted endorsement to the Green New Deal.
Warren revealed the launch of her presidential exploratory committee on the last day of 2018, a likely sign she will try to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020. The announcement came after rampant speculation the senior senator would ultimately make a bid for the White House after handily winning re-election in the 2018 midterms.
“Most of us want the same thing — to be able to work hard, play by the same set of rules and take care of the people we love,” Warren said in her campaign video. “And that’s why today I am launching an exploratory committee for president.”
If she ultimately throws her hat in the ring, Warren would likely stand out as one of the most liberal politicians among the 2020 Democratic contenders. The progressive lawmaker has openly advocated for a single-payer health care system, supports the implementation of a government-run pharmaceutical manufacturer and has positioned herself as the Senate’s most ardent critic of Wall Street.
