Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren decided to give up on the Democratic nomination race on Thursday March 5 after a series of very disappointing results, including in her own state. It cost the senator to admit that she would not be able to keep the promise to become the first president of the United States. "One of the most difficult things about all of this is what will happen to all of these 'pink promises' (pinky promised) " made, linked ear, with her youngest supporters, she said, very moved. "All these little girls will have to wait another four years, it will be hard"added Elizabeth Warren.
Elizabeth Warren's ambition was to draw the Democrats as far as possible from the left, without going so far as to present herself as a "socialist democrat", the label claimed by Bernie Sanders who is not a member of the party which he is seeking. the nomination. The senator, however, was caught between the latter's resilience and the unlikely comeback of former vice president Joe Biden, who defends more moderate positions.
The senator refused to immediately support Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden on Thursday, saying she had to "Catch your breath and think a bit" at the question. The praise immediately woven by the senator did not have the expected effect on the senator.
In an interview with MSNBC on Thursday evening, Elizabeth Warren also deplored the aggressiveness of the senator’s supporters on social media. She was also courted by Joe Biden, who even cracked a kind word for his dog Bailey, who became a star in his campaign.
This delay was additional bad news for the Vermont elected official who could not widen the gap he imagined during Super Tuesday. While his rival is accumulating rallies, the reinforcement of Elizabeth Warren would contradict the idea of his isolation.
