Bernie Sanders' First 2016 Congressional Endorser Explains Why He's Backing Warren Now [View all]

“I think it's a very powerful combination that Elizabeth has,” Grijalva told The Daily Beast ahead of a Thursday event in Arizona where he will introduce the Massachusetts Democrat. “And that's that she's got the intellect and more importantly the heart for this job.
