Elizabeth Warren Ends Presidential Campaign
By |
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced the end of her presidential campaign on Thursday following low numbers on Super Tuesday. The former candidate said that she was disappointed, as a role model, to be letting young women down.
“One of the hardest parts of this is all those big promises and all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years,” Warren said.
She announced the decision in a staff call and following press conference in her home state—where she only placed third in primary votes.
“I announced this morning that I am suspending my campaign for president,” Warren said at the press conference. “I say this with a deep sense of gratitude for every single person who got in this fight, every single person who tried out a new idea, every single person who just moved a little in their notion of what a President of the United States should look like.”
She said that she will not yet be endorsing another candidate, but she will continue to advocate for the issues her platform was based on.
“I guarantee I will stay in the fight for the hardworking folks across the country who have gotten the short end of the stick over and over,” Warren said.
Warren was the last woman left in the race after Amy Klobuchar dropped out on Monday.
