Dropped out of the primary on March 5 th 2020

E lizabeth Warren is a US senator from Massachusetts. Ms Warren is credited with inspiring the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a government department dedicated to stamp out predatory lending. She has placed income inequality and economic opportunity at the centre of her campaign. Her launch was dogged by an old controversy surrounding her claimed Native American heritage, but she has been winning the war of ideas in the Democratic primary. Her “economic patriotism”—a combination of support for government programmes like Medicaid and Social Security, a wealth tax and pro-America trade and manufacturing policy—is seen by her fans as a way to win favour with white, middle-class Americans again. Others see it as Trumpism for Democrats.
