“If Warren runs, it will be because she believes that entering the presidential field is the best way to pursue her mission: giving America’s middle-class families a fighting chance. Only a serious candidacy would meet that test. By demonstrating the massive grassroots energy just waiting to be unleashed, we aim to show Senator Warren that the time has come—and inspire her just as she has inspired us.” |
