united states, bret bret and maa will be there for that. >> fox news alert, analysts are in cambridge, massachusetts, ready to hear from senator elizabeth warren, expected to speak at about 30 minutes from now. this, after spending he suspendr campaign. we will take you there. and a few days after warren's dismissal, the senator was coming in third place in her own home state of speak to of our departure sets up ashowds and joe biden. it also raises the question,
9:01 am
which one will she endorse? meanwhile, warren is promising not to stay silent, saying, "for every american who desperately want to see our nation healed and some decency and honor restored to our government, this fight goes on. sure, the fight may take a new form, but it will be in that fight. i want you in this fight with me. we will persist." president trump tweeted that "war and dropped out three days ago, too late. costing bernie sanders several super tuesday wins. i'm harris faulkner. here today, fox business network's dagen mcdowell. fox news headline's 24/7 reporter, carley shimkus. in the center seat, on loan from the 5:00 p.m., fox news political analyst and coast of the five, juan williams is here. he's "outnumbered." elizabeth warren, we knew that there was some conversation going on behind the scenes. what do you make of her departure today? >> i think the numbers weren't
9:02 am
in her favor. she hadn't win one state. she didn't wear her home state, harris. it could only lead to the convention. the only scenario in which she was going to play and get the nomination is if neither bernie sanders, or progressive ally, or joe biden, the former vice president, was able to get a majority of the delegates. then she was the mediating for us. "let elizabeth warren have it." the delegate math now strongly fa vice president, and i think for her, from what i'm hearing from her people today, she was very emotional. there were tears and the like. >> she was responsible for some of the exits we saw. most notably, most recently, mike bloomberg. >> i just wanted to finish up on that. she was the last moment.
9:03 am
>> well, tulsi. >> in terms of major candidates, let's be fair about it. i think tulsi deserves all the respect of the world. >> harris: elizabeth wear and didn't carry, either. >> juan: i said that up front. she resented a segment of the democratic base. especially white suburban women, who saw her in some ways as a hero. a heroine. >> real bang-up job byybe if the candidate over the other [laughter] it's a big choice. the only way she endorses biden is if he offers her the viceenc. >> harris: you really think she wouldn't do it to take one for the team? of a party? >> kennedy: her team has been the progressive team. she has made her name as a progressive. she has taken bertie don mcburney 's crib notes and try to foster him don't like them into her ow.
9:04 am
she is kind policy positions and disseminated those, let them know what our positions are. she's been very honest broker in that regard. but she's also painted yourself as a progressive. and she will upset progressives if she goes to joe biden. >> she stood up during the debate, raised her hand that she was going to take private health insurance away from 180 million people. that's something she is going to have to own. her supporters on the other hand are more joe biden's supporters, if you will pay college-educated women who likely back tyler clinton. then the bernie bros. she went after bernie using her gender, saying, "you told me woman couldn't beat president trump." she backed hillary clinton in the 2016 election, but she didn't throw her support behind clinton during the primary battle. she waited until -- i think it was june. because she wanted to be the running mate of hillary clinton.
9:05 am
>> carley: i would be surprised if she goes with biden. during the last debate, she was cozying up to bernie sanders. complement to him. because she already foresaw that her future, if she could maybe score the vice presidential pick, would be for somebody like bernie sanders. although that wouldn't really be a smart choice for bernie sanders, because elizabeth warren is so similar to him. >> harris: anybody you might want to vote for somebody who is more establishment. to give them no place to go. >> he should pick somebody a little more moderate, maybe a minority, maybe somebody from the south. like stacey abrams would check all those boxes. >> what we know is is really not up to her. it's going to be sort of political fodder, who she selects. >> harris: you don't think she will determine that? speak of the reality is it's her voters, or supporters. we know from quinnipiac, they do set a poll out about a week ago. most of her supporters -- it's only like 40%. that they would migrate to
9:06 am
bernie sanders. guess what? it's about 20 said they would go for the former vice president. >> kennedy: i think you're absolutely right. dagen makes a good point about the demographic makeup of her supporters. again, we have to be careful talking about people as though they are mindless blobs. it's not like they are like, "biden!" they will probably split. the problem is, bernie's supporters. if she endorses biden, they are never going to -- >> juan: bernie's supporters, the bernie bros, have been cruel to her at points. >> harris: this is cruel to a lot of people. >> dagen: to any woman. if you say anything negative, they come after you online. >> carley: apparently she's entered by the treatment. it's also what you described a moment ago, the confrontation that occurred, where she said to him on national tv, on the debate stage, "you just called me a liar on national tv." that's bad blood. >> harris: look, dagen, i'm
9:07 am
curious. >> kennedy: that's present to policy. >> juan: [laughs] >> harris: with bernie sanders on super tuesday, with a couple of exceptions, younger voters didn't come after him. you talk about the bernie bros, we think his supporters are younger crowd typically. they did come out in 2008 for barack obama. they did not come out in a primary season for bernie sanders. does she help with that, if she goes and backs him? does she bring some of that with her? >> kennedy: her performance on the primary stage hasn't proven that. she finished behind mike bloomberg and her birth state of oklahoma. we pointed out, she finished fourth. there are five states where, among younger voters in the primary, five southern states where the turnout among people under the age of 45 was worse than it was in 2016. one thing about elizabeth warren, she has been terrific at selling her message based on her own personal story. how she translates that for another candidate remains to be
9:08 am
seen. but she does have money. she had $29 million that she raised in february. biden only raised $18 million, and then she has that super pac that has aired at least $40 million worth of ads on her behalf. >> harris: let me do a reset. sometimes people will join us just past the top of the hour, and they may be wondering what they're looking at live on the left side of the screen. you can see a building in the background there. we have cameras perched, microphones ready, for what we anticipate will happen in about 19 minutes from now. and that is that senator elizabeth warren, who has dropped out of the 2020 democratic presidential primary race to get to the white house today, is expected to speak at her home in cambridge, massachusetts. carley? >> if you brought up such a good point about how elizabeth warree able to help bernie sanders when it comes young voters. because elizabeth warren does have some youth support. it is really surprising that bernie sanders was sort of struggling, as opposed to what he got in 2016.
9:09 am
youth support for him in terms of turnout was down. i think that's because he is sort of -- and it's funny because he 78 years old, but he sort of sprang onto the scene in 2016. nobody knew that he was going to do as well as he did. and that was really cool and surprising to a lot of young people, that he was sort of this alternative candidate. and the intrigue with his campaign just isn't there anymore. so i think that's one of the reasons he is struggling, and maybe he could pull some youth support if elizabeth warren decides to support him. >> harris: when you look at bernie sanders and who he has been a cross to tribes, he's been consistent. what people say they like about him and him kind of seat is commensurate with the current president. that he -- his authenticity. when he recently started to say the word "millionaire," and it was written about that that was on purpose, you can make of it waited like. but it is kind of a drift. but when he corrected anderson cooper on 60 meds last sunday night, "don't call it a
9:10 am
revolution," i was a mind splitting drift. he's been calling it a political revolution, a revolution, a revolution, so many times. if you caught his speech on tuesday, on tuesday night, super tuesday night, he said, "it's a movement, it's a m is he becoming something different than we had seen? >> kennedy: i think they are probably focus grouping some of those phrases. >> harris: how does that hurt him, kennedy? >> kennedy: younger people aren't all socialists. some are looking at his proposals going, "what are the long-term applications? am i going to get stuck with the bill?" the answer is yes. if any of this passes, even fractionally, yes. you see a number of younger voters now going, "oh, hmm, maybe i don't want to pay for some dill's college. i'm making less money yet somehow i'm footing the bill for this."
9:11 am
>> dagen: and curious because we were talking but using the word "revolution." that the word joe biden used in his speech in south carolina. not just a victory, but a turning point in terms of his messaging. he said that we don't need a revolution. talking about pragmatism versus socialism. he was talking about compassion. it was really the language of president barack obama he was using. he said, "we don't need a circular firing squad and we don't need a revolution." so that's the pivot. >> juan: i think you are seeing both sides react to each other. bernie sanders is being targeted by joe biden as saying, "we need
9:12 am
a revolution," when in fact most democrat voters aren't calling for a revolution. so he is trying to buy some of that linkage back. which is what i think you're hearing from harris. i think on the other side what you are seeing is joe biden saying, "wait a second, we are about change. we are about making change in a real way." not just promising revolution, but delivering and pragmatic terms actual change that will improve the conditions of the country. the kind of middle here is that i think there are lots of people who now understand how desperately democrats want to beat donald trump. so you're going to hear that, i think it, today in the remarks from senator warren in front of her home there in cambridge. i think you are that yesterday from mayor bloomberg here in new york, his campaign event. the party is going together, ane argument is, you need the safest possible debt. why? gosh, look at what black voters did in south carolina. black voters all over the country, they didn't go for cory booker, they didn't go for senator kamala harris. they said, "we want the safest possible bet going to this november race against donald trump." pugh and let me jump in, carley, excuse me. i want to bring this up. some of them are out, obviously, you got only a couple left. you got the other democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls previously who are commenting. andrew yang has just tweeted, "elizabeth warren is an amazing
9:13 am
leader, always gracious, warm, brilliant, genuine. everybody knows you were in the race to make things better for everyday people. he will continue to fight because it is who you are." and we knew that senator kamala harris had spoken up not too long ago. she did so on camera. i will say what she said, in case we don't have that. "i think she --" meaning elizabeth warren -- "is an incredible leader and i've nothing but praise for her. she is a friend, and still a lot of work to be done to make very clear --" and she kind of goes on, to eat after tweet, comment after comment here i will also say, guys, it is -- i think you will know, this election cycle has produced very legitimate questions, presented religion that questions about the challenges of women running for president of the united states. forgive me for not being more eloquent in reading that. i'm trying to catch it all here on my phone. that's kamala harris on elizabeth warren. >> dagen: this was never brought up on the debate stage.
9:14 am
and she was not hit with this by democrats. but she lied about her ethnicity for decades. as a woman, you look at her being strong and being bright and brilliant wasn't enough. you lied. you called yourself an american indian on your bar card when you registered in texas. this went on for years. and the old dna reveal, which was an embarrassment. you had to go back to the late 18th century to find a native american ancestor. it goes to authenticity. it goes to believability. it goes to who you see yourself as. and nobody called her on it. but that had to hurt. >> i think you make such a great point, dig and pay the biggest h elizabeth warren's campaign is that she was sort of bernie sanders' like. she was saying a lot of the same things, they had similar policy plans. but bernie sanders is, like you said, the most authentic politician, for better or for worse, on capitol hill, period. he's been saying the same thing since the 1970s.
9:15 am
even though he's changing up the messaging now, not saying revolution, softening the town, that doesn't mean his ideas are any different. >> kennedy: hasn't backed off, you are absolutely right about that. elizabeth warren only benefited from the surgery when the ukraine scandal was hurting donald trump. and joe biden, at the same time. when she emerged in the fall as a possible real contender, and people i like, "oh, she just checked so many boxes for the democrats," in this modern age where everybody has their peccadilloes, they would be willing to overlook some of those flaws and inauthenticities. >> harris: while you guys are bringing up personal decisions that she made, in terms of what she used about herself to try and get ahead, or what you want. a fact is, around that same time, she came out with how to pay for medical plan.
9:16 am
i remember reading on "medium." i was trying to add all the set. look, i'm not a math genius, but i came from one. [laughs] my dad was. i'm looking at and thinking, "not only does this not add up, it is an out-of-the-wa >> juan: that was the sort of pivot point in terms of her fortunes in this campaign. i have a plan for that, that was really her mantra. when the question came, "how are you paying for this?" initially she wouldn't respond. she was standing up there like, "i will get to it eventually. and then when it eventually came out, people didn't say, "of course, wow, what a genius plan." to the contrary they had these questions. >> kennedy: bruni said the same thing about his plan. "we don't know how much is going to cost, is going be expensive. that's what we know." he gets a pass for that? >> juan: he's unvarnished, that's what carley was saying a
9:17 am
moment ago. he sang, "i'm going to tax the rich and the rich are going to pay for it." and when people say, "what about the middle class," he backs up. he says your premiums to be lower and you are guaranteed certain coverages. the point is the middle class would have to pay for it. >> dagen: bernie sanders has been more forthright. elizabeth warren was asked point blank, "our middle taxes going up to pay for this?" and she wouldn't answer. bernie sanders says, "yes, you will pay more in taxes to offset what you pay for your health insurance or your employer. i am paraphrasing here. we should remind people, elizabeth warren was also a republican until the mid-to-late '90s. >> kennedy: on the radio show, she didn't have an answer for it. that's when her candidacy looked like it was going to crater. "you were a republican '90s." when clinton was in the white house, she was a republican! >> harris: there were women's issues being brought to the forefront because of what was going on with former president clinton, the timing.
9:18 am
>> dagen: and harvard law school, they promoted her and marketed her as their first female hire of color. the actively marketed her that way. she didn't say anything at the time. >> harris: juan, real quickly, i want to get this in. following elizabeth warren on twitter and seeing in the last few minutes, couple minutes, since we talked about her, she has treated -- not that you have anything to do with each other -- "albert continues per the fight goes on. big dreams ever die. from the bottom of my heart, thank you." our team has grabbed this. outside her home in cambridge, massachusetts, we are watching the crowd of media group. we are expecting that to happen about 12 and a half minutes from now. we are taking elizabeth warren's comments as soon as she comes and talks about dropping out of the primary race to get to the white house, just moments from now.

9:23 am
sure. i've got plenty of time. life line screening. the power of prevention. call now to learn more. >> harris: we anticipate that we are just a few minutes away from hearing from elizabeth warren, who you know has been a stalwart in terms of the most progressive policies on this campaign trail. only slick into perhaps bernie sanders. she has dropped out of the race today, the senator, and we are wondering what she will, a, say about it. she tweeted in the last eight or 9 minutes thinking her supporters. but we are wondering, is she going to tow the party line? what looks to be established as the party line. and back the more established candidate, joe biden, or will she back bernie sanders? what will that mean, if she does, to joe biden? and around and around we go. don't know if she will announce that endorsement today, but we
9:24 am
are anxious to hear what she has to say. it has been reported there were some conversations going on. i'm going to bring in juan williams. what will those behind the scenes among democratic leadership, if the outcome or just democratic political minds, what with those conversations have been like to effectively get her to drop out at this point? >> juan: i guess we could look to amy klobuchar as a model here, harris. we saw not only with amy klobuchar but also with mayor pete buttigieg, people said timing is everything. if the timing is right, in the case of what we saw with klobuchar and buttigieg, before super tuesday, make a move. this is when it means the most. >> harris: did she wait too delete? >> juan: i don't know about waiting too late. she wanted her voice don't like vote in massachusetts. she's the center for massachusetts. i think she could visit to do much better and certainly better than -- when she come in, third or fourth? i wanted to add a point, to my
9:25 am
mind i know people keep mentioning tulsi gabbard. it's a debate coming up. on the 15th in arizona. she would have been -- she would have qualified for that. >> carley: i just brought up tulsi because she got salty about not being called a female candidate before. >> juan: right, but she won't be on the stage, i don't think. >> kennedy: according to past criteria, she would have been on the stage. >> juan: i'm talking about gabbard. the >> kennedy: i am, as well. she has the delegates >> juan: i think for democrats it's a little bit this morning of an identity crisis going on. >> harris: really? >> juan: two white male septuagenarian's, as the remaining leading candidates, i want to make sure i don't see anything wrong. as remaining leading candidates, i think for such a diverse party, party that prides itself on that, a part of that was the party of hillary clinton last time, there is a question about, well, okay, we are looking for
9:26 am
the safest bet to beat. but does that mean what bruni said to elizabeth warren way back? maybe a woman isn't going to be effective in this role. >> kennedy: do you think bernie sanders called her and said, "i told you so?" >> harris: in an interview on another network, they had a very good conversation. when he spoke with her. >> juan: subsequent to this. >> harris: yes, sanders. look, i do want to get this in. we know are presented of ilhan omar of minnesota has been very outspoken about a number of things. not the least of which her own progressive politics. she just tweeted, "let's not undersell the power of elizabeth warren's candidacy. she set the pace for policy on everything from disability justice to racial justice to a wealth tax. she is a giant of our movement. i can't wait for our progressive movement to build together. #thank youelizabeth. ">> carley: if she has any insider information, and who knows if she does, that signals
9:27 am
that she's going for sanders, right? >> kennedy: i think she signaling that she's going for sanders. tuesday night, ilhan omar sent out a very nasty tweet that was directed right at elizabeth warren, saying, "the analysis should be how progressive didn't line up. we see how the moderates lined up." and that was her way of saying, "check yourself, elizabeth warren." that's what you were saying about any global chart and pete buttigieg, i think they actually come out a little bit better having dropped out of the race. they were still on sort of an upward trajectory. they look brave. they looke look like team playe, good and decent people. i don't blame elizabeth warren. if you are in the contest you got to still try. >> dagen: but you need to be a narcissist to even want to be president of the united states. >> juan: [laughs] >> dagen: you need to have an ego the size of alaska times 50. elizabeth warren, to her credit, she was not doing well in the early primary states. she was still having big rallies
9:28 am
where thousands of people were showing up to see her, and houston, seattle, denver, and detroit. we are coming up on the michigan primary. somebody needs her endorsement at this point. >> harris: i don't know if anybody can grab the big wall for us. five democrats have dropped out since saturday. juan, this seems like it matters. i know we are talking about timing. we still have two what i call mini big tuesdays coming up. you have states and play on the tenth, the biggest of the haul is michigan. you have states where you are in the south, the rust belt, you are kind of going all over the place. i still say for elizabeth warren to have hung in there for super tuesday, it does make a difference that she gets out days before those contests start to happen. it >> juan: it makes a difference without a doubt. i don't think there's any debate there. the question was, what we thought tuesday. i think what you are pointing to on the big wall, harris, there has been such a seismic change in the nature of the democratic
9:29 am
contest in the last five days. not only south carolina on saturday, but then what happened on super tuesday. the idea that joe biden could win in the liberal bastions like minnesota and massachusetts. even if you think about maine, these were really big upsets. elizabeth warren wasn't playing there. >> harris: are you feeling better about your party, that it may not just complete you capitulate to bernie sanders and tip over and go all the way left? you can't deny the fact that it is leaning left. we don't know what's going to happen. it could still take a bigger haul out of california. we don't know what's going to go on over the next few contests in terms of biden and sanders. how are you feeling about where your party is? >> juan: to my mind, i always think that we, in this business, sometimes misinterpret the fact that there's been a spike in self identified democrats who say, "i am a liberal." but in part that's because so much of our politics is all about president trump. and people are reacting to him. but if you ask most democrats,
9:30 am
to this moment as i sit here, it's more than 55% who will say, "i'm a moderate, or slightly left of center." that's of the democrats are and not to joe biden is. much more, i think, than bernie sanders. >> dagen: just really quickly, bernie sanders' recent comments that have come to light, his support of cuba and castro, and other leftist tyrants, devastating socialism in parts -- like venezuela, for example. people who are older, they vote, and they have very clear memories of the cold war. >> harris: i just want to draw our attention. this may or may not mean that something is imminent, but when you see an adjustment to catch more of the front door outside senator elizabeth warren -- >> carley: lovely home. [laughter] >> harris: sometimes that means somebody is about to come up. we have scooted almost a minute passed that will 30 eastern mark we were expecting to see her, to come out. expecting her to talk about
9:31 am
dropping out of the presidential race today, among 2020 democrats. just the last few minutes. maybe there are some orchestrated timing in this, maybe not. joe biden has just tweeted. "senator elizabeth warren is the fiercest of fighters for middle-class families. her work in washington and massachusetts and on the campaign trail has made a real difference in peoples 'lives. we needed her voice in this race and we need her continued work in the senate." that from presidential candidate, former vice president, joe biden. who no doubt, kennedy, is aided by the fact that even if she doesn't tell us who she is endorsing today, it gets people to take a closer look at him versus bernie sanders. still hanging like a thought bubble, a dialogue bubble, are those comments sanders made recently about fidel castro. socialism. >> kennedy: there is something different about her candidacy. as i'm looking at this. there is more of a sentimental attachment to elizabeth warren
9:32 am
and her campaign and her cause than there has been for other candidates who have dropped out. and you haven't seen the same kind of outpouring for some of the other candidates who have exited the race. there seems to be a great deal of personal warmth. we've heard from senator warren that it's actually a very tough decision, it's a very emotional decision. even though, you know, when you go for this top job there's always a great chance that it's not going to work out for you. that has to be tougher. i look at her and i look at joe biden, she didn't run in 2016. because she knew that hillary was going to, and that she had created a massive machine i didn't want to run against that out of respect and for other political reasons. unfortunately for her, this is not her year. >> juan: i just want to underline something real quick that you just said. what i heard about the tears from elizabeth warren this morning, i think this is an emotional moment for a lot of democrats. because she represents the idea of a strong political woman in
9:33 am
this age in a way that i don't think anybody else on that stage did. >> harris: and i've wondered about this, too. especially, kennedy, hear you talk about the pullback perhaps that she did to let hillary clinton remain in the forefront. did she talk about being a woman in this race generically enough and put being an american and being a democrat in this race to the forefront enough? >> dagen: she used it as a weapon, that was her mistake. >> harris: there was times that she seemed to use that as victimhood, if you will, particularly with bernie sanders on the stage as she talked off-camera about what i thought was a private moment between the two of them about the campaign. >> kennedy: i think that was a miscalculation on our part. when people look back at this campaign, one of the things they will remember most is the way she completely dismantled michael bloomberg's candidacy in one series of questions. that's what people would take away from this. they will take away that she is a fighter, that she is an
9:34 am
enforcer. in the areas where she is the most authentic, that's where she's the most effective. but, you know, yes, there were some political muscat galatians. >> juan: nevertheless, she persisted. [laughs] >> dagen: but you don't get a tko for a guy who knocked himself out. mike bloomberg did a face plant on that first debate stage. >> kennedy: but she landed the death blow. >> dagen: if she was really in it to win it, why was she going after that guy? she kept going after bloomberg, why wasn't she going after bernie sanders? >> harris: two things, i think. he is completely oppositional to what she says she stands for in terms of the cash. he was making it rain like crazy with money. and that was personally offensive to elizabeth warren. she talked about that. i think she also made the calculation that if he stays and unlocks everybody out, that it was going to be -- she said -- >> dagen: one thing i brought up yesterday that i want to point out, what happened to
9:35 am
elizabeth warren was there was a "new york times" poll, and upshot poll, showing her doing worse versus trump then biden or sanders." and this came out last year. it was in six critical swing states. and, again, it was in "the new york times." who made up her base? people who read "the new york times." and that was when she started basically pulling desperation moves. going after bernie sanders, using her gender. again, you use it as a sword and a shield, to quote "the new york times" -- i mean, "the wall street journal," from years ago. that that is a turnoff for people. it looks weak. >> kennedy: you also have to be careful not to make it look like you hate men. they make a path to the electorate, it turns out. >> carley: now that we are down to two male viable candidates -- 32 old men! "old" needs more than one
9:36 am
syllable! >> kennedy: the metamucil mavericks! >> juan: be kind, will you? >> carley: i'm curious about the issue of the contested convention. that's the thing that was going to happen. we are going to get our first contest to and decades. now that all these candidates have dropped out, it's looking less and less like that. do you think that's going to happen when the convention comes to fruition? >> juan: i think the odds are greater than i would've ever expected. let me just be clear. because i think you are having, right now, if you're a close contest between senator sanders and the former vice president. but the upcoming states, we are talking about michigan coming up right away. you hear the arguments between sanders and biden over trade policy and the like. but i still think if you look at the delegate layout right now you would have to say -- >> harris: i want to just say this to you, juan, because i would like to know your thoughts as she is now, we are told,
9:37 am
about to come out. this is the front door of elizabeth warren's home in cambridge, massachusetts. recent polling, fox news poll mack revealed the 49% of democratic primary voters wanted a candidate who would pursue practical centrist policies. they were against 40% any candidate who would put forth bold liberal policies. they want to the midline. that would not be elizabeth warren. >> juan: no, but remember, for all of what you just said, which she was clearly to the far left -- i don't even think to the left -- but elizabeth warren is somebody who was saying, "we can have change with regard to health care, with regard to the high level of student debt in this country. we can do a better job with regard to climate." so she was being aggressive and unapologetic. again, her base, if you were to look at the recent polls coming out of super tuesday, again, highly educated, suburban, white
9:38 am
females. >> dagen: guess who voted for joe biden quebec urban voters, upscale middle-class suburban voters, and rural appalachian voters. bing, bang, boom. doubled the turnout in the state of virginia. >> juan: it was like 60% across the south. who saved joe biden quebec you're talking about the democratic party feeling better about itself? >> kennedy: james clyburn. >> dagen: i wanted to bring that michigan really quickly, and i will shut up if i see that door even crack a little bit. governor gretchen whitmer endorsed joe biden today. sanders carried michigan in 2016, but working against bernie sanders is again his proposal for getting rid of private health insurance. you are going into union state and you're going to tell all those union members, "we are taking your health insurance away?" if biden wins michigan firmly, it's done. there is no contested convention. >> harris: you bring up such an interesting point there. as that was playing out, and we
9:39 am
9:40 am
every single person who tried on a new idea. every single person who just moved a little in their notion of what a president of the united states should look like. [sigh] i will not be running for president in 2020, but i guarantee i will stay in the fight for the hardworking folks across this country who have gotten the short end of the stick over and over. that's been the fight of my life, and it will continue to be so. >> reporter: what guidance would you give to those who don't know who to support now? >> well, let's take a deep breath and spend a little time on that. we don't have to decide that this minute. >> reporter: i wonder what your message would be to the women and girls who feel like we are left with two white men to decide between. >> i know. one of the hardest parts of this is all those promises. and all those little girls who are going to have to wait four
9:41 am
more years. that's going to be hard. >> reporter: senator -- will you be making an endorsement today? we know that you spoke with both joe biden and bernie sanders. >> not today. not today. i need some space around this. i want to take a little time to think a little more. i've been spending a lot of time right now on the question of suspending, and also making sure this works as best we can for our staff, for our team, for our volunteers. >> reporter: it could be coming, just not right now? >> not right now. >> reporter: i know that your campaign manager said on the staff call today that he had no regrets. do you feel the same way? >> oh, i do. i have no regrets at all. this has been the owner of a lifetime. ten years ago i was teaching a few blocks from here and talking about what was broken in america, and ideas for how to fix it. pretty much nobody wanted to hear it. and i've had a chance to get out there and talk with millions of
9:42 am
people. you know, we have ideas now that we talk about that we just weren't even talking about even a year ago. eight wealth tax, and universal child care that could be real. we could make it happen. and canceling student loan debt for 43 million americans. and raising social security payments. those are life-changing events for people. we could actually do this. so, i am delighted to have been here and honored to have had this chance. >> reporter: [indistinct] >> you know, i was told at the beginning of this whole undertaking that there are two lanes. a progressive lane, that bernie sanders is the incumbent for, and a moderate lane, that joe biden is the incumbent for. and there's no room for anyone else in this. i thought that wasn't right, but evidently i was wrong. >> reporter: what d --
9:43 am
>> as i said, i think i was told when i first got into this that there are two lanes. and i thought it was possible that it wasn't the case. that there was more room, and more room to run another kind of campaign. evidently that was the case. >> reporter: your home state, massachusetts? >> i am deeply grateful to the people of massachusetts. back in 2012, they took a chance on someone who had never run for public office before. they ousted a very popular incumbent republican senator to give me a chance. to stand up on a bigger platform and fight for their families. and i am deeply grateful to that. they returned me to the senate in 2018, and i'm deeply grateful for that. they are the reason i'm in this fight, and they are the reason i am able to stand here today.
9:44 am
>> reporter: senator warren, a few questions for you. i saw you vote two days ago for yourself. >> i did. >> reporter: do you need to reflect a little bit about what that was like for you? the other question is, can you talk a little bit about the role that gender played in this race? >> so, it was a voting booth. i looked down and saw my name on the ballot. i thought, "wow, kiddo. you're not in oklahoma anymore." [laughs] it really was a moment of thinking about how my mother and dad, if they were still here, would feel about this. i had gotten a long email from my nephew, how proud his dad, my brother, it is. how they all had their plans to
9:45 am
vote. it is. for that moment standing in the booth, i miss my mom and my daddy. gender in this race, you know that is the trap question for every woman. if you say, "yeah, there was sexism in this race," everybody says, "whiner!" and if you say there was no sexism, about a million women say, "what planet do you live on?" i promise you this, i will have a lot more to say on that subject later on. >> reporter: your supporters looking for a candidate, what is your advice to them? obviously were not endorsing anybody, but what is your advice? >> let's take a deep breath and think about this a little longer before we all decide. >> reporter: it took multiple days to make this decision. were you thinking about, what
9:46 am
informed it to? >> a big part of it is to think about all the people who turned their lives upside down to be part of this campaign. all of the staffers who moved, and worked long hours, gave up jobs to be here, took leaves from school. to think about what' what worksr them. this is a whole lot of people. we are a big part of this. also, our volunteers. for all these people who already have invested, so money of their hours and so much of the art. the phone calls and the door-knocks, coming to the office and help clean things, shop, and keep it all going. and thinking about all those pinky promises. i take those pinky promises seriously. those are the things i needed to think through, and how we make
9:47 am
all those people don't like pieces work the best we can for everyone. one last thing, it's about all the people who are affected by all the issues i've talked about. whether they got involved in my fight or someone else's fight, or even not at all. however we talk about this, there still is a trillion and a half dollars of student loan debt outstanding. there are still tens of millions of people across this country who, one bad medical diagnosis interrupts their financial. there are still imams and daddies across this country that can't finish their education, can't finish their jobs, because they can't find access to child care they can afford. i do think a lot about where the best place is for me to go to keep fighting those fights. because those problems don't
9:48 am
disappear when i stand here in front of you. those problems go on, and my job is to keep fighting and to fight this smartly and effectively as i can. >> thank you, everybody. >> year of the best! [cheers and applause] >> harris: senator elizabeth warren outside her home in cambridge, massachusetts. a very emotional senator today. she has dropped out of the race for the white house, talking about every single person who has gotten into the fight with her and tried on a new idea. wanting to thank them. on two occasions, when she was asked by reporters there, who is she going to back now? let's take a deep breath and settle in a little bit longer," she says. "not right now," will she make that decision. kennedy? >> kennedy: was very interesting how she tackled the issue of sexism. she said, "you can pretend it doesn't exist and you can't complain about it." he really is a catch-22. the democrat party has not figured out how to solve that thus far. they've gotten very far eloquent
9:49 am
and preachy got the nomination, she won the popular vote. i would be interested to see of elizabeth warren, how she will go forward in the future. to be when ureters that she has a lot more to say about it. >> juan: culture in this age is the leading indicator of politics. it's not politics eating the culture. running into elizabeth warren a few weeks ago in penn station, she told me she was on her way to a rally. that night she's at a rally here in the village. she got more than 10,000 people. i was like, "wow, this is unbelievable." not only that, then she stood for three plus hours doing the selfies. it became a hallmark of her campaign, taking selfies with people. >> carley: they were really selfish. i just have to say they were in selfies, it was nobody taking pictures. >> juan: yeah, okay. the point i take away from that press conference, what you said is so important, you are a
9:50 am
whiner, or people ask "what planet are you from chemicals go to people say that it does make a difference. people know you're a woman. but the other thing i take away from that is that she said she thought there was a third lane." there was xander's lane in terms of the left, a biden lane in terms of moderates. she thought she could fed that needle, like "the force be with you." and she said she was wrong. >> dagen: i keep bringing this up, in terms of health insurance and going for single paramedic or fall. it's one of the things that probably hurt are the most. they didn't really differentiate her from bernie sanders. she gets a lot of credit for standing up there and taking questions. it's hard. if you are feeling that in your gut, and you are up there and you don't just read a statement and go back in the house, it takes a lot to stand up there and show your emotion. you can be emotionally be a marshmallow. i certainly am. and also be strong and be bright.
9:51 am
she gets an incredible amount of credit for that. i said this privately to somebody the other day, when somebody said something and it made me angry. "they talk like that to everybody." and it was a man. i said, "let me quote madonna. unless you are a woman, you don't know what those jabs and those barbs and that fight feels like unless you are a woman." >> carley: just to piggyback off of that, that was the best i've ever seen elizabeth warren. that was not her talking about the selfie lines pray that's not her, "i'm going to get me a beer." those really genuine. a lot of human emotion there. i almost wonder, if she showed that side of her a little bit more, what would her candidacy have been like? >> harris: i have a question about that. juan, i come to you. i don't need to point fingers in terms of who loves us more as women, democrats or republicans. let's just let that fall away and let's talk about just what is on the platform for democrats. you say you stand for diversity,
9:52 am
and diversity is more than just cultural and racial. it's also diversity of thought. he pointed out the fact that she said, "i was wrong, there are only two lanes." not only did she not last as a woman, she did last to shake the establishment or the far left. it's being born right now. as you look at this, what kind of changes do you think have to happen for your progressive party to embrace a woman and fill in some of the gaps that we know are still challenges as women run on both sides of the political aisle? b6 i mean, the key thing here is the democrats. if you let congress, governors, mayors, the thing is for this moment i think what you are seeing is not that women have said, "we don't think a woman can win." women and the blacks and latinos say, "we are looking at the
9:53 am
person in the best position to be donald trump." that's why i think this feels so emotional and so different. pete buttigieg is gay, i didn't sense the gay community is emotional about this. amy klobuchar is a woman, i didn't sense this outpouring of emotion in terms of her. but it is about elizabeth warren. it comes back to the answer to your question, that i think the party has to contend with the idea that, are we being sincere about believing in the power of women? i think elizabeth warren said this, that the image of a woman could be the image of our president. is that true for democrats? >> harris: that's a very good question. >> juan: why do they point fingers at republicans, if they are not true to that sentiment? >> harris: i could not have said it better. i think you have a little bit of elizabeth warren from just moments ago, because this seemed like a big moment. we may not have it, so let's just talk about it. when she didn't choose to get behind bernie sanders. she didn't make that -- she laid
9:54 am
out her policies and it sounded kind of like she was talking about him. because that's the thing i picked up on. she said she wasn't going to make the decision just yet. immediately, she talked about universal child care, student loan debt. those are all things that bernie sanders talks about repeatedly. again, i would be very surprised if she didn't pick him, especially because her closing argument was, "i'm still going to be in this fight to support the ideas that i care about." so we were talking about what the candidates can offer her. and she flipped it and said, "no, i really want to be in this for the issues that matter to me the most." >> kennedy: she's getting out of the way, but she now feels like she's in control of her message and her destiny, even if that doesn't lead to the white house. why should she pick today? again, we talk about the bad blood she had with bernie sanders, and the ideological differences she has with joe biden. i thought she was going to come out and endorsed because there have been some sort of a deal made. that clearly is not the case. >> carley: i think that bad
9:55 am
blood is over and done with. >> dagen: it is her day. "i am making about me, i'm not making it about everybody else." you have to stand up there and discuss over and over and over again. >> kennedy: it that would be the take away, you're absolutely right. >> dagen: it's her day, her hour. >> harris: it so interesting that you say that, because it's her day several days ahead of the next pretty big contest, which includes michigan on tuesday, march 10th, next week. we will be right back here in "outnumbered." refinance your mortgage and save thousands a year. i urge you to call newday usa now. @h we all use our phones very differently. we need a great network all the time. (vo) everyone in your family is different. these two are always gaming and this one is always on facetime. (vo) so verizon has plans to mix and match starting at $35. and up to $650 off the latest iphone. the network more people rely on, gives you more.
9:59 am
>> kennedy: think you so much for making the counterpart of her day. elizabeth warren put a very nice button on her candidacy. i think that press conference went about as well. >> carley: i want to say how much we here at fox have sympathy for you and for wendell. >> dagen: we are praying for him, sending blessings. >> kennedy: may his memory be eternal. right now let's go to
10:00 am
harris faulkner. it's "outnumbered overtime" ti time. >> harris: fox news alert, have you have seen moments ago, elizabeth warren speaking out on her decision to suspend her campaign for the democratic nomination for president. the senator of massachusetts says she has no regrets. she told reporters moments ago that set her own. you're watching "outnumbered overtime." i'm harris faulkner. warren first made the announcement to staffers earlier today after disappointing super tuesday turn out. it left her facing a steep deficit in the delegate count. however, war and told reporters she is not going anywhere. >> i will not be running for president in 2020, but
