NEWS: Warren tells me she’s running for re-election in 2024.
That and much more in an interview about her new book, her relationship w/ Bernie, and the 2020 primary

Other bits:
There was A private phone call between warren and Bernie in September 2019 when she confronted him about his staff/supporters. It didn’t go well.
“I'm not going there, I'm just not looking back,” she told me

when Jayapal called warren to explain her decision to endorse Bernie,
Jayapal told others that she felt Warren had questioned her feminism, according to a person Jayapal told at the time.
This happened soon after the “woman can’t win” story broke.

Warren doesn’t mention that story much in her book except to write -- with the passive voice -- that “it leaked that Bernie had told me that a woman couldn’t win.”

On the creation of the $14 million Super PAC that kept her afloat after Sanders outpaced her in the initial contests, Warren writes that “a stunningly generous woman put $14 million into a super PAC.”

I also asked Warren why she didn’t endorse after she dropped out.
She sighed and gave an uncharacteristically slow, halting answer.
“There were a few more states to vote...I knew I wanted to wait until there was just one person in the race, and get 100 % behind that person.”
