Elizabeth Warren ends Democratic presidential campaign
Elizabeth Warren, who electrified progressives with her «plan for everything» and strong message of economic populism, dropped out of the Democratic presidential race on Thursday, according to multiple U.S. media reports.
Warren, 70, entered the face on Feb. 9, 2019 in her native Massachusetts but wasn’t able to translate some strong debate performances into delegates.
Warren never finished higher than third in the first four states and was routed on Super Tuesday, failing to win any of the 14 states voting and placing an embarrassing third in her home state, behind former vice-president Joe Biden and Sanders.
Born in Oklahoma to a churchgoing Methodist family, the former Harvard law professor was registered as a Republican until changing affiliation in 1996.
The reports cited persons close to the Warren campaign who were not authorized to speak publicly.
