Elizabeth Warren Steps Up Campaign For Liberal Agenda
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., may not be running for president in 2016, but she was campaigning hard Wednesday to be an agenda-setting power broker.
At 9:30 a.m., she joined the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute to release the Women's Economic Agenda, a list of 12 proposals aimed at closing the gender wage gap. It covers issues such as raising the minimum wage, providing paid family leave and increasing access to child care.
At 12:30 p.m., she went to the National Press Club to open up another front in her battle with corporate lobbyists — and with the White House.
Warren said the Obama administration is falling into line with an emerging bipartisan consensus that says Congress should "reform" the tax laws that apply to U.S. corporations' foreign income.
