Elizabeth Warren announces shes running for re-election

WASHINGTON — Elizabeth Warren announced Friday that she will seek a second term as US senator from Massachusetts, giving battered liberals a rallying point as Donald Trump prepares to assume the presidency.

“I am running for re-election in Massachusetts in 2018,” she wrote in an e-mail to her network of supporters.

She began the note saying that “nobody expected 2017 to start this way,” and that “this isn’t the fight we were expecting to fight.”

“The people of Massachusetts didn’t send me to Washington to roll over and play dead while Donald Trump and his team of billionaires, bigots, and Wall Street bankers crush the working people of our Commonwealth and this country,” she wrote. “This is no time to quit.”
