Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is not ready to endorse a Democratic presidential candidate just yet.
“No endorsements now,” she said before Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses Monday night, adding that she is proud of the Democratic Party’s candidates’ focus on the issues.
“I think that what the Democrats are doing is terrific. We’re out talking about the issues,” Warren said, according to MassLive.com. “I look at the Republican debates and the difference between what they’re doing and what the Democrats are doing that really shows who’s on whose side.”
“We’ll see,” the senator said when asked if she would announce a pick following the Iowa caucuses.
Warren, who has previously been critical of Hillary Clinton’s relationship with Wall Street, declined to comment on whether that relationship still worries her.
“[I have] concerns about everybody’s relationships with Wall Street,” Warren said. “This is a rigged game, and it’s rigged because Wall Street makes sure that in every decision that gets made they’re there. They make sure they’ve got their lobbyists and their lawyers so that everything tilts just a little more in their direction. This is what I’m fighting every day in the United States Senate.”
Warren also declined to say if she would back Bernie Sanders, a fellow progressive. Warren is the only female Democratic senator who has not endorsed Clinton.
Clinton edged out Sanders by less than one-third of 1 percent in Monday’s Iowa caucuses. The first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire is Feb. 9.
