Elizabeth Warren embraces underdog role as she faces 2020 challenges
But three and a half months into her presidential campaign, the Massachusetts senator is facing tough questions about fundraising and electability, along with lingering skepticism about her past claim to Native American identity. The longtime liberal superstar is embracing an uncomfortable role in the crowded 2020 contest: the underdog.
Another signatory, former New Hampshire state Rep. Frank Heffron, said he'd be satisfied if Warren ultimately won the election, but said"it's very unlikely" he'll support her in the primary. Laying the groundwork for her 2020 run, Warren released the results of a DNA test in October that showed"strong evidence" of Native American ancestry, albeit at least six generations back. The move backfired, emboldening her critics — especially Trump, who regularly calls Warren"Pocahontas" — who have long charged that Warren exaggerated her ethnic heritage for personal gain.
A federal filing reveals that she raised at least $300,000 on the day she launched her campaign. While not a complete picture, Sanders raised nearly $6 million the first day he was in the race and California Sen. Kamala Harris raised $1.5 million.
