Elizabeth Warren left Democrats’ jaws on the floor after she made this stunning announcement about her 2024 plans
It’s no secret that polls have consistently indicated the majority of Democrats do not want Joe Biden to run for re-election.
Biden has even repeatedly delayed officially announcing a 2024 campaign leading some Democrats to begin positioning themselves just in case he bows out.
But now, Elizabeth Warren left Democrats’ jaws on the floor after she made this stunning announcement about her 2024 plans. Her indecision and waffling has become the things of legend.
And now Elizabeth Warren is causing heads to shake once again over talks of 2024.
Warren can’t seem to make up her mind
Over the past few months, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has raised plenty of eyebrows with her comments about both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
During a Boston Public Radio interview in January, Warren made headlines after she refused to endorse Harris as Biden’s running mate in 2024, leading many to believe she was angling to replace the Vice President.“I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team,” Warren said at the time. “I’ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala. I knew her back when she was an Attorney General and I was still teaching, and we worked on the housing crisis together, so we go way back. But they need — they have to be a team, and my sense is they are — I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are.”
Senator Warren reportedly campaigned behind the scenes to be President Biden’s running mate after she dropped out of the 2020 Democrat Presidential Primary, but he ultimately chose the immensely unpopular Harris.
On top of that, in February – after previously apologizing for refusing to endorse the VP – the Democrat Senator also fueled speculation she could actually challenge Biden for the Presidency by outright refusing to endorse both the President and Harris.
But once again, Warren merely flip-flopped after making her comments, later issuing a full-throated endorsement of the Biden-Harris ticket.Even though she claims to now endorse the ticket, Senator Warren’s back and forth on whether she supports her own Party’s President and Vice President has muddied the waters on what her future plans are.
That is, until now.
The race for 2024 is on
In a surprise announcement, Warren laid out exactly what her plans are for the 2024 election – she’ll be running for re-election to the Senate.
“We’ve won some big victories for working families in Massachusetts and across the country, but there’s a lot more to do,” Warren wrote on Twitter. “So today I’m making it official: I’m running for re-election to keep up the fight.”In addition to her announcement, Warren’s campaign released its first commercial of the 2024 election cycle, with paid actors reading scripted compliments about the Democrat Senator.
One such paid actor even claimed in the ad, “Across Massachusetts, Elizabeth makes sure we have a choice,” which is rather rich considering the state is effectively a one-party state controlled exclusively by the Democrat Party, leaving voters without a real choice each election.

Nevertheless, Senator Warren’s announcement does appear to squash any lingering questions over whether or not the 73-year-old would decide to make another run for the Presidency.
At the same time, though, it doesn’t exactly end the speculation that she may actually be angling to replace Kamala Harris as Vice President instead.
Since Warren refused to endorse the Vice President, Harris has reportedly refused to speak to the Senator, forcing Democrats to stage a recent photo-op, putting the two in the same room – albeit separated by other Democrat Senators – in order to claim there was nothing to the reported cat fight between them.
And even though Warren is running for re-election to the Senate, should President Biden decide to make a change, there doesn’t appear to be anything stopping her from pursuing the opportunity.
But only time will tell if Elizabeth Warren is really focused on running for re-election, or if she’s just attempting to put up a smokescreen to distract from her White House ambitions.
