We’re 2 1/2 years out from election day 2020….
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) is running for re-election….
As in 2016?
She says she is NOT running for President….
But she has good poll numbers up in New Hampshire……
US Senator Elizabeth Warren has said she is focused on winning reelection in Massachusetts this year and not running for president in 2020 — but Democrats in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state, New Hampshire, sure like the idea.
A new poll released Wednesday by the Suffolk University Political Research Center shows Warren as the front-runner for the next New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary. When Warren is added to the pack of candidates, the Massachusetts Democrat leads former vice president Joe Biden, US Senator Bernie Sanders, and five other potential candidates.
“The results show the potency Warren has by just showing up. Her presence on the ballot uniquely changes the game, to the point where whether she runs is one of the biggest question marks of the 2020 election,” Suffolk pollster David Paleologos said.
The New Hampshire primary is still 21 months away, but campaign season begins in earnest in about six months — just after the midterm elections. Democrats say their next presidential primary field might have more than a dozen candidates.

Please fix the typo so she is not labeled as a Republican.
It’s bad enough that I have to see that term applied to Trump.
Done
Sorry
My Bad!

It was Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) who ultimately won the day with a full-throated assertion of the need for Democrats to hew closely to a base she characterized as “angry and scared” about President Trump’s impact on the nation.
Warren argued at the Center for American Progress’s (CAP) Ideas Conference that the Democratic Party is “the party of ideas.”….

The sample size may be small, but Warren’s margin still appears to be greater than the margin of error.
Of course, the caveat that polls this far out are relatively meaningless also applies.
Clinton allies open to backing Warren for president in 2020
Allies of Hillary Clinton say they could see themselves supporting Sen. Elizabeth Warren for president in 2020, even as she rails against Wall Street and pulls Democrats away from some of Clinton’s more centrist positions. ..
…
“If Biden comes in, winning [Clinton’s] supporters becomes harder for Warren,” Smikle said. “He shares more history and politics with Hillary’s core support and though he’s been around a long time, he got a bit of a reboot as Obama’s VP, so that may bring in some of the newer Obama voters.”
