Could there be a chance for Elizabeth Warren over Joe Biden? I will be surprised if she pulls it off. I think they will need someone stronger if they are going to defeat Trump.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren drops out of the race for president, according to reports, after failing to win any primary states. The Massachusetts senator is ending her campaign, according to the New York Times, CNN and MSNBC. Warren was once considered a front-runner in the 2020 race but failed to win any primary contests. Warren campaigned on a mantra of "big structural change" to tackle political corruption and money in politics, while championing a slew of liberal causes such as Medicare for All, retiring student debt, and breaking up big tech.
