Things are starting to get down to the wire, and Elizabeth Warren is the latest presidential candidate to suspend her campaign. The announcement came Thursday morning two days following the results of Super Tuesday.
Warren first broke the news to her campaign staff on a call where she said, “What we have done — and the ideas we have launched into the world, the way we have fought this fight, the relationships we have built — will carry through, carry through for the rest of this election, and the one after that, and the one after that.”
She continued, “We have shown that it is possible to build a grassroots movement that is accountable to supporters and activists and not to wealthy donors — and to do it fast enough for a first-time candidate to build a viable campaign. Never again can anyone say that the only way that a newcomer can get a chance to be a plausible candidate is to take money from corporate executives and billionaires. That’s done.”

According to NBC News, Warren said she would not be making an endorsement of another candidate right away.
She talked to reporters outside her home and said, “I will not be running for president in 2020, but I guarantee I will stay in the fight. One of the hardest parts of this is all those big promises and all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years.”
As we previously reported, Michael Bloomberg also dropped out of the race and placed his support behind Joe Biden after he took the lead following Super Tuesday.
Our work continues, the fight goes on, and big dreams never die. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. https://t.co/28kyKe777L
