Elizabeth Warren, the senator from Massachusetts and one-time frontrunner in the Democratic presidential field, is ending her campaign, setting up a two-man race between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders for the party’s nomination.
“I will not be running for president in 2020, but I guarantee, I will stay in the fight for the hard-working folks in this country who got the short end of the stick over and over,” Ms Warren told reporters on Thursday. “It has been the fight of my life and it will continue to be so.”
The decision comes after a disappointing Super Tuesday for Ms Warren, who finished in third place in her home state of Massachusetts, behind Mr Biden, the former vice-president, and Mr Sanders, the Vermont senator.
