Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren praised her fellow lawmaker Bernie Sanders Tuesday, and didn’t dismiss the idea that she could join him on the campaign trail to support his White House run.
“Bernie’s out talking about the issues that the American people want to hear about,” Warren, who has yet to endorse a candidate, told the Boston Herald. “These are people who care about these issues, and that’s who Bernie’s reaching. I love what Bernie is talking about. I think all the presidential candidates should be out talking about the big issues.”
Warren, who many thought would run for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, has not yet endorsed a candidate.
When asked if she would campaign with Sanders at some point, she replied: “Too early to say.”
Sanders, who is challenging Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, has surged in recent polls. Warren supporters may have something to do with that. “Ready for Warren,” the group that was pushing the senator to run, disbanded in June and endorsed Sanders.
With 11.8 percent, Sanders is currently polling third in a RealClearPolitics average of polls among Democratic candidates. Clinton leads with 63.3 percent, while Vice President Joe Biden sits in second place with 12.8 percent.
