2. Actually, Senator Warren had a great turn out early in her campaign

In May, In Michigan....

"DETROIT (AP) — Elizabeth Warren launched her first tour of Michigan as a Democratic presidential candidate on Tuesday with a proposal to boost domestic manufacturing, including the creation of a Cabinet-level department charged with "creating and defending" American jobs.

The Department of Economic Development she would create would replace the Department of Commerce and consolidate several agencies, including the Small Business Administration and the Patent and Trademark Office. She's also pledging to "more actively" manage American currency, focus more on promoting exports and require companies that get federal research money to keep related production in the U.S. She'd spend $20 billion on apprenticeship programs and invest $2 trillion in environmentally friendly manufacturing.

The Massachusetts senator, who launched her 2020 White House bid in February, is billing her latest plan as part of a broader "economic patriotism" agenda. The measures are the latest in a series of ambitious policy proposals that have become a trademark of her campaign."

"At 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, about five hundred people came to the Focus: HOPE building in Detroit to hear Elizabeth Warren speak. Warren spoke against a backdrop of the American flag and two machine arms, a nod to Focus: HOPE’s mission in community education and job training and the manufacturing history of Detroit.

Warren began her speech by talking about America’s current economic plan, which she said doesn’t suit the average American or America itself.

“America’s had an economic plan for a long time, and it’s been, ‘Do whatever giant corporations want,’” Warren said. “Those giant corporations, they do not care about American workers; but I do, and I’m going to fight for them.”

Warren has been campaigning to hold big companies accountable and focused heavily on this throughout her speech. She also focused on the “climate crisis,” which she highlighted as a problem, not only for the earth, but also for the economy. She proposed the creation of new jobs for Americans as a way to combat climate change.

“What is it going to take to save our planet?” Warren said. “The answer is it’s going to take a whole lot of new science, a whole lot of (research and development) and a whole lot of manufacturing — technological manufacturing. My plan is to do all that right all in America.”
