Elizabeth Warren Not Ready To Endorse A Presidential Candidate But Says Sanders TALKS FROM THE HEART [View all]

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said she’s in no rush to endorse a 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, even if it makes her the only female senator in her party not to back Hillary Clinton. “It’s just not time for me to do that yet,” Warren said last night during a Main Street holiday lighting ceremony in Melrose. Warren was glaringly absent at a Clinton fundraiser earlier this week in which 13 of the 14 Democratic women of the U.S. Senate backed the former U.S. secretary of state.

Warren’s endorsement — representing the progressive base of the party that Clinton has feverishly been courting — could be a game-changer in the showdown between Clinton and Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders. Asked when she thinks she might make an endorsement of any candidate, Warren was noncommittal: “I don’t know.” But she rejected the idea that Sanders is losing popularity, as Clinton holds on to a large lead in the national polls.

“Bernie is doing what Bernie always does — he’s out there talking from the heart, raising the issues that he’s raised for decades now,” said Warren. “That’s just who he is.”
