Warren pitches herself as new center of Democratic Party [View all]

Elizabeth Warren usually pushes back on the idea of political lanes, but with a narrowing field on the eve of Super Tuesday, she was making the case that she's the compromise candidate in the Democratic Party.

Noting that "the field has now narrowed sharply," with the moderates aligned on one side, Warren argued that their policies are not the ones the country wants.

"I think that what we've seen so far is that the Democratic Party is a progressive party," she told Lemon. "Progressive ideas are popular."

"We need someone who's going to get those progressive ideas done," she said. "And that's the reason I'm in this race."
