NEW: Elizabeth Warren is dropping out of the presidential race

w/ ⁦@alivitali⁩ 👇 nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
The most diverse presidential field in American history has whittled down to two white men in their late 70s.

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
The 2016 election arguably set back the cause of electing a woman president. I've lost count of how many voters I met on the road who said they loved Elizabeth Warren but wouldn't vote for her because they just didn't believe the country would elect her.

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
No word on whether she will endorse, or who. Her 2016 decision here is notable: declined to endorse Clinton or Sanders, instead decided to use her leverage to shape eventual nominee’s agenda. Warren understands leverage.

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
Warren has told her staff she’s dropping out: “I may not be in the race for president in 2020, but this fight—our fight—is not over. And our place in this fight has not ended.”
.@SeanMcElwee described it well recently: “The problem that Warren has is all of the Bernie people think she's a neoliberal shill, and all of the centrists think she's a raging Maoist.”

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
Warren had a successful summer, branding herself with countless policy plans, avoiding conflict with rivals, making gains on electability, rising to frontrunner status and drawing some massive crowds over 10,000.

Then it all began to slip away.

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
“Joe Biden’s three-day news blitz replaced an entire year of campaigning and organizing,” said Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which supported Warren. “It’s a little frustrating.”

Sanders tells @Maddow re: a potential Bernie-Warren ticket: “It’s too early to talk about that. But certainly I have a lot of respect for Senator Warren and would love to sit down and talk to her about what kind of role she can play in our administration.”
Interesting: Bernie Sanders, pressed twice by @maddow on whether he‘d explicitly reject Bloomberg spending $ to help beat Trump if he’s the nominee, says only that Bloomberg can do what he wants with his money and that the Sanders goal is to fix the system.
Bernie Sanders on his problems with black voters: “We’re running against somebody who has touted his relationship with Barack Obama for eight years... It’s not that I’m not popular. Biden is running with his ties to Obama, and that’s working well.”

Bernie Sanders speaking now in Vermont: "Joe is running a campaign which is obviously heavily supported by the corporate establishment. At last count he has received funding from at least 60 billionaires."
Sanders offers a comprehensive critique of Biden on issues, hitting him on "disastrous" trade deals like NAFTA/PNTR, Wall Street bailout, Iraq war, "disastrous" bankruptcy bill, Social Security and Medicare cuts.
Bernie Sanders says he wants his battle with Joe Biden to be about the issues.

"I like Joe. Joe is a decent guy. And I do not want this campaign to degenerate into a Trump-type effort where we're attacking each other, where it's personal attacks."

NEW —> Super Tuesday lessons: 7 key takeaways from a big night. Joe Biden is back with a vengeance, Bernie Sanders scores important wins, and the Democratic race becomes a proxy war over two visions.

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
Joe Biden voters 2-to-1 prioritize a candidate who can "unite the country"; Bernie Sanders voters 2-to-1 prefer one who can "bring about needed change," per Super Tuesday exit polls.

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
Coronavirus fears boosted Joe Biden on Super Tuesday: Among Democrats who said it was an important factor, 47% voted Biden, 29% voted Sanders, 10% voted Bloomberg, 9% voted Warren.

I'll probably write more Warren stories at some point but it's worth looking back on the great journalism about her during the race
1st up: hometown Boston Globe w/ @jessbidgood and @lizcgoodwin on Warren's HS debate days which Bloomberg's team shuda read bostonglobe.com/news/politics/…
.@AnnieLinskey has covered Warren inside and out for years and has written more tentpole pieces than anyone at the Globe and Wapo. Here are just 3.

NEW: Elizabeth Warren has dropped out of the race. Of two dozen candidates, only two are left, two seputegarians with a combined age of 155. One who Hillary beat, the other who Hillary scared off. Each, with a wing of the party behind it.
Ah! Turns out Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race. Still time for a late surge...
Either way, Warren now has a big card to play. Her endorsement might seal the deal for Biden or unite the left as the centre has been, preparing the way for a slog of a contest. All with a VP slot potentially in play...

In a pre-emptive strike, Biden sends unusual open memo to the media warning against disinformation pushed by the president and his defenders
w @mikememoli

nbcnews.com/politics/trump… via @nbcnews
@NBCNews @mikememoli The memo, first obtained by NBC News, is also a shot across the bow of Republican senators as they consider whether to entertain Trump's demands to call Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, as a witness in the trial.
@NBCNews @mikememoli Trump has been "spreading a malicious and conclusively debunked conspiracy theory" that "Biden engaged in wrongdoing when he executed official United States policy to remove a corrupt prosecutor from office," the campaign said in the memo.
