Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, announced her intention to seek re-election on Monday morning.
Warren, who has served in the Senate since 2012, shared a video on her Twitter account showcasing Massachusetts voters expressing their support for her. This announcement follows her unexpected remarks last month, which led some to speculate about a potential presidential bid in 2024.
“We have achieved significant victories for working families in Massachusetts and nationwide, but there is still much work ahead. Therefore, I am officially declaring my candidacy for re-election to continue this fight,” Warren stated on Twitter.
In the video, one voter remarked, “Across Massachusetts, Elizabeth ensures we have a choice.” Another added, “Elizabeth doesn’t mess around. She’s always on our side.”
Earlier this month, Warren fueled speculation when she refrained from endorsing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 election.
Her comments, which she later clarified, led to Harris not returning Warren’s phone calls after the senator chose not to endorse Harris as Biden’s vice presidential candidate for 2024.
According to CNN, “Warren has reached out to Harris twice to apologize for her remarks, but the vice president has not responded. During a Boston Public Radio interview in January, the Massachusetts senator appeared to stop short of endorsing Harris as Biden’s running mate for the upcoming election. When asked if Harris should continue in that role, Warren replied, ‘I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team.’ She expressed her long-standing respect for Harris, noting their collaboration during the housing crisis, but emphasized the importance of team dynamics without implying any issues.”
