The Guardian’s Nicky Woolf has more on Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton:

Warren, a favorite of the progressive left who taught constitutional law at Harvard, has been floated by some as a possible running-mate for Clinton who could help bring the disaffected left - many of whom were excited by Bernie Sanders but ambivalent about Clinton – back into the fold.



She has been especially fierce recently in her criticism of Donald Trump, attacking the presumptive Republican nominee in a searing series of speeches, setting herself up for a prominent and pugilistic role in the presidential election whether she is on the ticket or not.



Earlier on Thursday, at a speech to the American Constitution Society in Washington DC, Warren hit out at Trump as “just a businessman who inherited a fortune and kept it rolling along by cheating people”.

She described him as “a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud who … serves no one but himself,” and said his attacks on Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge presiding over the Trump University suit, was “exactly what you would expect from somebody who is a thin-skinned racist bully”.
