Elizabeth Warren has been a huge vocal critic of President Trump.
From her position in the Senate, she has done everything she could to obstruct his agenda.
And now she just dropped some major news that will shake up his chances in 2020.
There has been heavy speculation on Senator Elizabeth Warren running for President in 2020.
Many Democrats believe that she would be able to beat Trump and become the first women President after Hillary couldn’t.
While Warren hasn’t spoken much on her Presidential ambitions, she finally came out and stated that she isn’t going to run for President.
While she stated that she isn’t running for President in 2020, she repeatedly dodged questions on whether she would serve her full six-year term in the Senate if she is re-elected in November.
As reported by Politico:
“Sen. Elizabeth Warren insisted Saturday that she is not running for the White House in 2020, but the Massachusetts Democrat repeatedly dodged on whether she would serve her full six-year term if she wins reelection to the Senate this November.
“I am in this fight to retain my Senate seat in 2018. That’s where I’m focused,” Warren told NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd, in an interview scheduled to air in full on Sunday. “That’s where I’m going to stay focused. I’m not running for president.”
Asked repeatedly whether she would serve a full six-year term if reelected, Warren said she is not running for president and would fight “for the people of Massachusetts, and for the people across this country.”
Warren, who was courted by progressive activists to run for president in 2016 and is widely expected to win reelection in 2018, has consistently tried to tamp down speculation on any White House aspirations.
During the 2016 cycle, Republican Sens. Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham all campaigned in their party’s presidential primary season — along with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who ran for the Democratic nomination.
Warren recently has ignited a fight in the Senate’s Democratic Caucus over changes to the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulations, passed in the wake of the global financial crisis, and has repeatedly criticized President Donald Trump.”
Despite the fact she said she isn’t running in 2020, the fact that she wouldn’t answer whether she would serve her full term fuels speculation.
If she was elected President in 2020, she would be forced to leave her Senate seat.
She could be looking at the numbers currently, and seeing they aren’t looking good for Democrats.
At the same point in his presidency, Barack Obama had a lower approval rating than President Trump does right now.
After seeing the election results in 2012, in which Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney, despite having a lower approval rating than Trump, it could make her worried.
Running and losing against President Trump would make any Democrat into an embarrassment amongst their own party.
Hillary Clinton will more than likely never seek office again due to her loss to President Trump.
Do you think President Trump would beat Elizabeth Warren if she ran against him in 2020?
