Gee couldn’t do it any later, eh?
Via The Hill:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) formally endorsed Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid Thursday after months of remaining neutral in the Democratic primary.
“I’m ready,” Warren told The Boston Globe Thursday. “I’m ready to jump in this fight and make sure that Hillary Clinton is the next president of the United States and be sure that Donald Trump gets nowhere near the White House.”
Warren said she’s getting behind Clinton because “she’s a fighter, a fighter with guts.”
“I am ready to get in this fight and work my heart out for Hillary Clinton to become the next president of the United States and make sure Donald Trump never gets any place close to the White House,” Warren said on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” Thursday night.
Warren said Democrats are often too soft and willing to compromise while waiting patiently for change, but the party needs a leader like Clinton who can fight for it.
“Having a female fighter in the lead is exactly what this country needs,” Warren said.
“For 25 years … the right wing has been throwing everything they possibly can at her. What she’s done is she gets back up, and she gets back in the fight.
“You also have to be willing to throw a punch, and there are a lot of things people say about Hillary Clinton, but nobody says she doesn’t know how to throw a punch.”
Warren also heaped praise upon fellow Sen. Bernie Sanders, saying he has helped bring in millions of voters to the Democratic Party.
