Elizabeth Warren Drops Out <br />of 2020 Presidential Race The Massachusetts senator <br />announced her decision during <br />a staff call on Thursday morning. The move comes after a <br />round of disappointing <br />Super Tuesday finishes. Warren's ability to secure the nomination <br />lost traction as she went from placing third <br />in Iowa to fifth in South Carolina. Once a strong contender for the <br />nomination, Warren focused her bid <br />on tackling corruption in Washington. Her departure follows the exits of Senator Amy Klobuchar, former Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg earlier this week. Warren has not yet endorsed a candidate in the race.
