A candidate who wants to know

The field is getting bigger and bigger: On Saturday, Senator Elizabeth Warren has declared that she wants to compete in the American presidential elections in the year 2020 for the Democrats , to incumbent Donald Trump's challenge. In the past few weeks, several Democrats had thrown their hat in the Ring, among them, the Senator Kamala Harris, from California, and Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey. Warren had already announced on new year's eve that she was considering a candidacy. Now she has taken this step officially.

The first primaries for the nomination of the democratic candidate, held the first in nearly twelve months in the state of Iowa, but the internal campaign is already in full swing. It is expected that up to three dozen candidates could enter the race. The Republicans look at this with satisfaction, because they hope that the Democrats ream the protracted heats. Senators Bernie Sanders and Amy are expected to Klobuchar as the Next in the race, the former Deputy Beto O'rourke from Texas thought as well as the former Vice President Joe Biden.

On the side of the Disadvantaged

Sanders Should get into the race, that would be for Warren to be unfavorable, because both have pretty much the same program: they belong to the progressive wing of the party and campaign for a wealth tax, for the rights of immigrants, working families and Union members.

Warren has declared her candidacy in Lawrence, Massachusetts that will represent you in the Senate. There, she performed in a symbolic place, in front of the Everett Mills, where, in 1912, were the textile workers, most of them immigrant women, protesting against miserable working conditions and poor pay in the recusal. In their 44-minute-long Declaration of Warren also told the story of this strike, in order to make it clear, on whose side are you on of the Disadvantaged.

The political Elite has been bought by the big companies, said Warren, and the middle class is in distress, that she could hardly breathe. "The man in the White house is not the cause of what is broken in the country. He is only the last and most extreme Symptom", she said: "The product of a rigged system that supports the Rich and Powerful and all the other Dirty pelts."

The moderate count

Warren was able to win over some influential supporters, including Senator Ed Markey, and the Congressman Joe Kennedy III, who had been in the past year, the democratic response to trump's speech on the state of the Nation. Kennedy has decided to support Warren and not have to wait until his good friend Beto O'rourke explained, was taken by the political observers with interest. Kennedy is regarded as a more moderate voice. The progressive forces represented by the Democrats, the view that the party should go back to the left, which should Express itself also in the Person who is running for the presidency. However, large parts of the party believe that the election in 2020 can only be with a fashion course won rates. It is certainly an advantage that Warren can also gather prominent Moderate.

The 69-year-old Warren taught time in law school, including the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and at Harvard Law School in Cambridge. Her specialty is bankruptcy law. In 2012, she was elected Senator, and in 2018 in the office confirms.

As the biggest Problem of your campaign could be that Warren has given in the past on official documents incorrectly, you will have to come from native Americans. She has apologized for it several times and made it clear that they belong to a tribe of Indians.
