Ayanna Pressley endorses Elizabeth Warren [View all]

US Representative Ayanna Pressley, a rising progressive star and the first black woman to represent Massachusetts in Congress, announced Wednesday she is endorsing Senator Elizabeth Warren for president, delivering a major boost to the Cambridge Democrat as she faces growing attacks from her political rivals.

“The American people deserve to be represented by elected officials who see them, who listen to them, and who fight for them,” Pressley says in a video announcement of her endorsement. “This election is a fight for the very soul of our nation. Elizabeth knows how to fight and she knows how to win.”

The backing of a prominent woman of color could help Warren build support among black voters, who are seen as key to her hopes of winning the nomination.
