In another indication of the appeal of the insurgent presidential candidacy launched by Bernie Sanders, a grassroots group that had been organized to draft Elizabeth Warren into the race for the Democratic nomination has transformed into a new organization and endorsed the Vermont senator’s campaign.

Sagrans and Lenchner explained that “Ready for Warren is launching a new grassroots initiative called Ready to Fight—and Ready to Fight is endorsing Bernie Sanders as its candidate for president” because, “while Warren is the champion who inspired this movement, the draft effort was never just about her—it’s about her message and the values she represents.”

The organizers conclude that “Bernie Sanders has caught fire in a way that’s reminiscent of the draft Warren movement itself—from the Internet to town halls in Iowa, Sanders has captured the imagination and support of people looking for a real progressive challenger in the 2016 Democratic primary.”
