Democrat Elizabeth Warren officially kicked off her 2020 White House run Saturday with a full-throated pledge to defend working Americans, unbowed by a row over her Native American ancestry that has threatened to nip her campaign in the bud.
"This is the fight of our lives," she told cheering supporters in gritty Lawrence, Massachusetts, against "a rigged system that props up the rich and powerful and kicks dirt on everyone else." "Millions of families can barely breathe," Warren said, in a feisty speech that struck aggressively populist and unapologetically left-leaning notes. "It is not right." The Massachusetts senator - who had announced her intention to run on New Year's Eve - is among the highest-profile of the growing pool of Democrats hoping to unseat President Donald Trump in 2020.
