Elizabeth Warren has said repeatedly that she isn’t running for president in 2016. But fellow Democrats apparently don’t hear her. Progressives hoping to pull the Democratic Party further to the left still see Warren, a senator from Massachusetts, as an unapologetic liberal and potential standard-bearer for their cause.
Warren, a former Harvard law professor and consumer advocate, is unabashed in championing issues dear to the Left, including income equality, an expansion of Social Security, stricter regulation of Wall Street and more generous student loans. Her consumer advocacy work contributed to the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
