Elizabeth Warren's signature

Elizabeth Warren is the senior United States senator from Massachusetts. She is a member of the Democratic Party.[1]

Warren was a candidate in the 2020 United States presidential election,[2] ultimately placing third behind Bernie Sanders, and eventual winner Joe Biden.

Widely regarded as a progressive, she was previously a registered Republican. It was not until 1996 that she changed her registration from Republican to Democrat. According to Warren, in the six presidential elections she voted in before 1996, she cast her ballot for just one GOP nominee, Gerald Ford in 1976. Her conservatism at the time was not rooted in social issues like abortion or gay rights, but rather on economic policy.[3]
