Elizabeth Warren: I'm Not Running For President

BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is insisting she has no plans to run for president in 2016.

Speaking to reporters in Boston on Wednesday, Warren vowed to serve out the remainder of her six-year term. She's currently in her first year.

Warren has repeatedly denied she's interested in campaigning for the White House but that hasn't stopped speculation among liberal Democratic activists.

The Massachusetts Democrat says she's working to be the best possible senator she can be. She also said she's fighting for the issues she campaigned on last year in her race against former Republican Sen. Scott Brown.

Warren said those issues include holding banks and Wall Street accountable and helping rebuild the nation's middle class.

Seriously, if she runs, I'm there. If she stays in the Senate, fantastic. She would not be the first politician to say they weren't running and then change their mind. We need someone running to the left. Hillary won't be (which is fine) and we've spent decades just being pulled further and further right because we're chasing the Repugs to crazy town. If it's Bernie Sanders, great. Elizabeth Warren? Great. Someone needs to tap into this desperate populist hunger. It will resonate across the political spectrum.
