Elizabeth Warren Officially Endorses Hillary Clinton on The Rachel Maddow Show
She also is being floated as a potential vice presidential pick for Clinton.
In a statement, O’Malley said “We must come together to confront the fascist threat to our democracy presented by Donald Trump”. Until Wednesday, Warren was the only one of the 14 Democratic women in the Senate who hadn’t endorsed Clinton, preferring, she said to let voters make their choice between Clinton and Sen.
Warren reportedly left the sit down, which was rumored to focus on how Clinton may embrace pieces of the progressive agenda championed by rival Bernie Sanders, with a smile on her face.
Sanders has vowed to campaign until the final primary election in Washington DC, on June 14 and pursue a contested Democratic convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
All three Democrats representing North Carolina in the U.S. House – G.K. Butterfield, David Price and Alma Adams – have endorsed Clinton.
And Trump is already using Warren’s past comments to remind his Twitter followers that Warren was not always on Team Clinton.
Obama was looking to play peace broker, coaxing Sanders to recognize Clinton as the party’s presidential nominee. “I think he brings a lot to the table for discussion that we’ve all been talking about and that we all want”.
Earnest said Obama is eager to join the campaign and make a case for Clinton before American people. I could have said to the women who have been my advocates for 30 years, I’m sorry. But – with Sanders carrying on his campaign for the foreseeable future, and despite some of his biggest boosters starting to pivot – some Bernie folks just aren’t ready to give up the fight just yet and they insisted on carrying on themselves.
Obama: “I’m Barack Obama, running for president and I approve this message”.
Warren, a former Harvard Law professor, announced her endorsement in an interview with the Boston Globe Thursday evening and said she was “ready” to get involved directly with the election.
Mrs Clinton declared victory over Mr Sanders on Tuesday, having captured the number of delegates needed to become the first female nominee from a major party.
The meeting is being held to discuss the party’s platform, which Sanders hopes to shape more in line with his support for higher taxes on the wealthy and greater help for working and poor people, he said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week”. His millions of supporters and donors are seen as key to turning out the vote for Mrs Clinton in November.
