“I’m not in Washington to work for billionaires.”

— known for taking on big banks.

“Break up these giant banks.”

And for being a bit of a policy wonk.

“I’m a data nerd.”

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren

is running for president.

“I am a candidate for president

of the United States of America.”

So, who is she?

Warren grew up in Oklahoma,

the daughter of a janitor.

She later became a law professor at Harvard.

She got into politics in 2012,

when she was elected the first female senator

from Massachusetts.

“We’re going to hold the big guys accountable.”

She won on a message demanding strict regulations

on Wall Street.

Once she got to Washington,

she earned a reputation for being tough on banks.

“Wells Fargo cheated millions of people.

At best, you were incompetent.

At worst, you were complicit.

And either way, you should be fired.”

And she helped set up

the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

under President Obama.

“Elizabeth was sounding the alarm

on predatory lending

and the financial pressures on middle-class families.”

So, what’s Warren campaigning on?

She’s been using her passion for policy as a way

to stand out in a crowded 2020 field.

Some of her top priorities:

Income inequality,

taxing the wealthiest Americans

and reining in big tech companies.

“It is time to break up America’s tech giants.”

So, how has she taken on President Trump?

Warren has called him a:

“small, insecure money grubber.”

And his administration:

”the most corrupt in living memory.”

Trump has relentlessly mocked Warren over her claim

of Native American ancestry.

“Pocahontas, right?

They call her Pocahontas.

I’ve got more Indian blood in me

than Pocahontas, and I have none.”

She took a DNA test to try to prove her heritage.

It didn’t go over well.

“Tonight, the leaders of the Cherokee Nation

are speaking out against Senator Elizabeth Warren’s

campaign video.”

Warren later apologized to the Cherokee Nation.

“I told Chief Baker that I am sorry.”

So, what are her chances?

Although she got an early start,

she’s polling in the single digits.

And while she initially struggled with fundraising,

those numbers have improved.

Warren says she is not accepting big donations,

instead, relying only on grassroots contributions.

“And I’m not out sucking up to a bunch of billionaires

hoping that they’re going to run a super PAC for me.”

It’s a risk her campaign hopes pays off in 2020.
