Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose endorsement became highly coveted in the Democratic presidential race after she dropped out last week, is unlikely to endorse her ideological ally Sen. Bernie Sanders, according to several people close to her, even though Sanders is looking for political lifelines as he struggles
Warren is expected to withhold her endorsement from Sanders as well as Biden at this point, choosing to let the primary play out rather than seek to change its course, according to several people familiar with Warren’s thinking who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss her considerations.
But Sanders’ highest-profile surrogate, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said she understood Warren’s hesitation, and suggested it was a teachable moment for the left. It was also not clear what difference Warren might have made in addressing Sanders’ glaring vulnerability with black voters, with whom Warren had shown little sway herself.
“Why would she want to make her endorsement seem less powerful by giving it to somebody on a downward trajectory?” Fallon asked. Warren and Sanders have never been completely aligned as politicians, however, even if they broadly agree on the ills of unfettered capitalism and the need for major change within the Democratic Party. More than labels — Sanders identifies as a democratic socialist while Warren is a self-described capitalist — the two differ in political styles and tactics, which has become apparent in their presidential bids.
