In fact, I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.

The endorsement came just hours after Obama met with Sanders at the White House.

“It’s been really inspiring to see someone talk about things that a lot of people were not willing to talk about”, said Marta Vegdahl-Crowell, a student at Macalester College in St Paul.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show”, Warren said she is ready to “fight her heart out” for Clinton’s campaign.
