Sen. Elizabeth Warren Still Won’t Endorse Sanders Or Clinton

[Purveyor]

BOSTON (CBS) — In a tense interview on CBS This Morning Thursday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren again refused to endorse a candidate in the Democratic primary race, only saying that she’s glad both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are “out talking about the issues.”

CBS This Morning host Norah O’Donnell noted that all of Warren’s fellow female Democratic senators had endorsed Hillary Clinton as the party’s presidential nominee, and asked Warren if she would endorse a candidate before the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July.

“I don’t have a timeline for this,” said Warren, instead saying she was just proud that both Clinton and Sanders have been talking about issues of education and wealth inequality.


“But you know your lack of an endorsement at this stage, though, has raised some questions,” said O’Donnell, who then asked if Warren thought Clinton should release the transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs, another question Warren avoided.

“What I’m glad to see is what’s happening right now, and that is that the Democrats are out talking about the issues,” said Warren. “I think it makes it very distinct what happens between our side and what’s happening over on the other side. They’re doing some kind of reality show, we’re out here trying to talk about the issues that affect the American people.”

4. Good for Warren! Why should she have to endorse someone?

As a Bernie supporter, if she endorsed Hillary, I would just figure she was doing what she thought best - and I would still support Bernie, and would support Warren, were she to run for something. No biggie.

But oh, the drama!

5. All the more reason to like this woman.

6. I don't think she needs to be pressured either way.

She's been clear on her issues. They're what matter to her. I see no upside to her in endorsing at this point.

10. if the m$$$$m keeps pressuring her to endorse clinton,

which she obviously has good reasons for not doing, she may just stop doing interviews.

and i would not blame her.
