Elizabeth Warren on prez campaign: ‘I’m getting more involved’
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren — a liberal superstar who has remained on the sidelines during the presidential race — said she is now “getting more involved,” spurred by the “ugliness” in the Republican race.
“I’m getting more involved and I will get more involved as we head closer and closer to November. I’m watching what’s happening right now on the Republican side and it reaches a point where silence is not a virtue,” Warren told reporters after giving a lecture at Clark University in Worcester. “There is a form of ugliness and extremism that is erupting on the right and it not only threatens the Republicans, it threatens the entire country.”
Warren has yet to make an endorsement of one of her fellow Democrats, or to join either on the campaign trail.
Pressed on how she intends to be involved, she demurred.
“Am I going to support the extremists? Is that what you’re asking me?” she said to laughter from a small gathering of elected state officials. “I’ll find a way. I usually have a fairly loud voice.”
