Warren has been shuffling since the Feb. 3 ballot in Iowa, and her final decision to retire comes as a result of the weak results she achieved last week at Super Tuesday, the big Tuesday where they voted simultaneously in 14 states and one US territory. Not only did Warren fail to win in any state – even in her home state of Massachusetts, which she represents in the Senate, she only came in third, after Biden and Sanders.

Warren’s retirement announcement was expected: This weekend he retired from Pete Boatidge,
Although he was pleasantly surprised at the first votes, he found that he did not have enough support for the sequel, and soon after Amy Amy Clocher was retired.
Yesterday announced the retirement of billionaire Michael Bloomberg,
He has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in his campaign in recent weeks in a hard-fought battle on Super Tuesday, and managed to win only in American Samoa, a marginal territory in election terms, which has only six delegates. All three expressed official support at Biden, strengthening him greatly against Sanders – thus fixing the race as a race between only two real candidates. Warren had no choice but to retire as well.

70-year-old Warren is considered the Democratic party woman in the Democratic Party, and her retirement can now strengthen Sanders because the leftist camp can unite around him. However, for the time being she has not officially declared support for it, and it is conceivable that there are quite a few among her supporters who will refrain from supporting him despite the idea of ​​her close relationship with Sanders.

“Give me a hug”: Warren’s exciting moment in the campaign

Warren was one of the first politicians to declare their candidacy
In the presidential primaries, and by the end of last year, she had been polling. In her campaign, she focused on fighting the impact of money on politics, arguing that in any significant issue – from arms control, through climate change to health – the power of corporate and billionaire lobbyists would thwart any possibility of real change. Like Sanders, Warren abstained from major donors, and her campaign was based on donations from ordinary people.

Warren’s pledge to provide detailed plans about her policy led her rivals to attack her for not initially explaining how she plans to fund the Medicare for All health insurance program – a revolution in health insurance that Sanders is also promoting. Her refusal to say in a TV show last October whether she plans to raise middle-class taxes to fund the program – even after Sanders acknowledged he would and said the overall cost would be reduced – criticized her, claiming she was evading it.

Weeks later, when she published a program detailing how corporations and wealthy dissolve, candidates who were considered moderate campers, including Joe Biden, attacked, claiming the numbers they provided were incompatible. On the other hand, some of her progressive campers claimed that her commitment to a gradual-only transition to the Medicare for All program was her withdrawal from her earlier commitments.

Throughout the campaign, Warren often seems trapped in the middle of a battle of democratic ideas – unable to bite much of the support Sanders receives on one side, but also unable to convince enough center-party people that she can embrace a wider constituency than she thinks. If that’s not enough, the current election campaign is unique in that Democratic voters are extraordinarily determined to beat President Donald Trump
In November, a key consideration in deciding is the question of who can beat Trump. Quite a few wondered if America was ready to choose a woman for the job.

“I Called Me a Liar”: Warren and Sanders after the January debate

In January of this year, the gender issue took center stage, with Warren and Sanders arguing during a TV show whether in 2018 he did tell her – as he has reported in various media outlets – that a woman can’t beat Trump. Sanders denied saying this, while Warren took the opportunity to remind viewers of a simple fact: “The units on this stage who won every election campaign they faced are the women, Amy (Clovusher) and myself.”

In the coming weeks, she emphasized this point again and again, and at rallies in Nevada and South Carolina, she introduced herself with the words: “I’m Elizabeth Warren, and I’m a woman who is going to beat Donald Trump.” It won’t happen anymore.
