Elizabeth Warren is no longer a Democratic presidential candidate, but she looms large over the race between moderate Joe Biden and progressive Bernie Sanders, holding the power to shape it with her endorsement.
Warren offered no hints Thursday regarding whom she’ll throw her support to, saying she wants to “take a deep breath and spend a little time on that” as both candidates showered praise on their former rival in hope of winning her over.
It’s a dilemma. Warren’s policy agenda of “big structural change” to tax the rich and expand the safety net aligns with Sanders’; she’s memorably said that on health policy, “I’m with Bernie.” But she also ran on unifying the party, and the rapidly emerging consensus among Democratic elites is that Biden is their man.
