Biden appears to close the door on Warren joining his administration [View all]

‘We need her continued work in the Senate’

Joe Biden hailed Elizabeth Warren as “the fiercest of fighters for middle class families” after she decided to suspend her presidential campaign, while seemingly closing the door to the senator joining his potential White House administration.

The former vice president celebrated Ms Warren in a statement posted to his Twitter account shortly after she announced her decision to end a bid for the Democratic nomination on Thursday, writing: “Her work in Washington, in Massachusetts, and on the campaign trail has made a real difference in people’s lives.”

“We needed her voice in this race,” he said, “and we need her continued work in the Senate.”

Mr Biden’s statement on the latest departure from the 2020 race left virtually no room for political analysts and TV pundits to ponder whether he would announce Ms Warren as his running mate, if he managed to secure the Democratic nomination.
