90. Is that the 2013 letter?

Mon Oct 26, 2015, 02:51 AM

Oct 2015

Or maybe a statement in April of 2014?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2014/04/27/elizabeth-warren-i-hope-hillary-clinton-runs-for-president/

Is there a more recent statement by Warren supporting Hillary that is strong enough to suggest an endorsement?

Bernie did not announce until May 2014.

https://berniesanders.com/bernies-announcement/

So a letter written before that time would reflect Warren's views at the time of the letter, much too early to be an indication that Warren would back Hillary rather than Bernie or any other candidate who announced after Hillary.
