Amid presidential murmurs, Warren to address AFL-CIOLOS ANGELES, Calif. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) will address a key faction of the liberal base Monday as speculation intensifies that she will someday seek the presidency.
Helping to open the quadrennial AFL-CIO convention, Warren is expected to be celebrated by rank-and-file union members as labors liberal bulwark in the Senate. The Massachusetts senator can strengthen her bonds with the key Democratic constituency that will play a big part in the partys 2016 presidential primary.
The bottom line is, I think the world of her and I think the whole labor movement does. She is a woman of her word and she knows you never lose when you stand up for whats right, said Massachusetts AFL-CIO President Steve Tolman.
...
I am not thinking about the presidency right now, but I do know we have the greatest U.S. senator representing us. I want her in the Senate doing the great work that shes doing, Tolman said. Give me a couple more years and let me find out shes interested, and I will drive the train.
