elizabeth warren coming up.orm that is very familiar to anyone who has followed her life as either a tax lawyer, who fought to the create the consumer financial protection bureau which was then gutted by the current administration and somebody who definitely triggers donald trump whenever she speaks, donald trump tweets. a lot of people think that is a selling point for her to be the nominee that she's somebody who would get under donald trump's skin because she's a woman, because she has some really strong issues, because she scares wall street, because she has definitive plans like a wealth tax. donald trump probably doesn't like that idea earring. she is going to make her case right now in lawrence, mass. here she is. >> good morning, lawrence!

this afternoon, senator elizabeth warren officially threw her name into the mix. >> i stand here today to declare that i am a candidate for president of the united states of america. >> she joins a crowded field of democrats hoping to replace president trump in the oval office. several candidates are spread out across the country today, making their pitch to voters. you're about to look at live pictures, right now, of senator cory booker in iowa. he is hosting a meet and greet in marshalltown. after a busy day and a half. campaigning in that crucial state. so let's begin. in massachusetts, with cnn's mj lee, live from lawrence, where elizabeth warren officially made her announcement. describe what it was like. >> reporter: well, fred, the 2020 field just grew by one with elizabeth warren making it official. for anyone who wasn't able to tune in to the speech, they should know we are outside of an old textile mill here in lawrence, massachusetts. this is the site of the historic 1912 bread and roses labor strike. this is when a whole bunch of women workers immigrant workers, walked out

so what more do we know about elizabeth warren?d herself on the left of the party. she s a former professor at harvard law school — where she taught bankruptcy law. she first emerged as a consumer activist during the financial crisis and she's a critic of big banks and unregulated capitalism. let's cross to washington and to our correspondent, chris buckler. iamjust i am just looking at the venue, in lawrence mags chew sets but the important thing is here elizabeth warren she hasjoined important thing is here elizabeth warren she has joined an increasingly crowded pool of contenders how is she branding herself in the battle to become the democratic candidate for 2020 has begun. begun. we have kamala harris, cory bewicker, there is a suggestion thatjoe biden the former vice—president is considering a run but litvinenko beth warren gets headlines because of that animosity there is between her and president trump. you might remember that president trump has called her pocahontas, mocking what she says is her native american heritagesh

but it's anyone's guess because it's early and elizabeth warren will be the latest entrant in what willd. let's go to molly line in lawrence, massachusetts where it's going down. >> hi, neil, we're expecting to hear from senator warren in less than ten minutes. representative joe kennedy on the podium for now expected to introduce the candidate here, and expectation that she'll be announcing for president. and this is confirmed by senator markey who spoke a few moments ago who spoke about the need to get senator elizabeth warren elected and talked about similar things what she talked about, fighting for what's right and reforming wall street, and senator markey not a shock, from the same state as kennedy here. kennedy, a rising political star of the historic political dynasty and last year he gave the response to trump's state of the union. these are good endorsements for her as she begins the trek across the country. she will be headed to new hampshire after she finishes her speech today and onto iowa and several other states and this and her organizing tour as she's expected to announ

bishop, your take on elizabeth warren's campaign kickoff. rogressive platform, is it the right call now heading into 2020? >> thank you for having me. i think it is. senator warren has continued to prove to the american people and democratic party she is a true leader interested in the types of policies that really resonate with a majority of americans. that isn't to say we don't have one of the most diverse and experienced groups of candidates right now in the democratic party, when you look at everyone from secretary castro to senators harris, gillibrand and so forth, yes, i think she's capable of doing a tremendous job and she brings the type of leadership and experience american people are hungry to see. >> let's talk about the one controversy, though, she is still under past fire for native-american heritage. she apologized for that and said it was something the media has to let go as well. she is trying to move on. the president posting her announcement refers to her as pocohantas, still, using this native-american stereotype to mock wa

i think elizabeth warren is someone i could personally never vote for.her policies unrealistic. i find them far to the left. i think she supposedly champions working people without really understanding what works for working people but good for her. she has as much right to run for president as anybody else. >> voters will make that decision. >> they will. >> you had some unpleasant exchanges with then candidate donald trump. you know he can be nasty. what's your advice to any of the democratic candidate, men and women, when it comes to running against him? >> let me say in fairness, i did face nastiness but he wasn't the only man i faced nastiness from on the campaign trail. the truth is donald trump reflects a culture that is still acceptable where you can say things about women's appearance either positive or negative. we would expect a presidential candidate or a president of the united states would be held to a higher standard but he's not the only man who has said ir relevant or demeaning or diminishing things about a woman's appearance, positive o

to be different how putting its money in this campaign let's have a look at what elizabeth warren i say have a look. but you also need an unwritten rule of politics that says that anyone who wants to run for office has to start by sucking up to a bunch of rich donors on wall street and our insiders in washington so out i'm opting out of that rule i'm not taking a dime of pac money in this campaign. again i say even possible the only one with where we currently are it just doesn't the influence of money is too great you need the money and the type of money that bernie raised very quickly to run ads to have a successful ground game and frankly if you ask me i think elizabeth warren is running because she's kind of had to everything she's done up until now in her political career at the federal level has sort of signaled this and i think she understands she's already sort of read the tea leaves and realize that this is not really hers to win but she's doing it she's kind of doing it in a principled way she can redeem or solve from the you know native american ties it's just it's a it's

decision that you can only be angry at one of the two. >> yeah. >> the donald trump attack on elizabeth warren people can be just as upset as they are about warren. >> it goes back to the different forms of racism that we face. so, you know, there is the genocide and the wholesale annihilation of our people. then on the other hand what we see constantly is the appropriation of our culture by people who claim to appreciate it. so people who appropriate our clothing, our dress, our ceremonies. that also belittles us as native people. i actually think trump and warren are emblematic of the two sides of the coin of racism against native people in the united states. when i criticize warren people come at me and say, well, trump is so much worse. i think that's a false dichotomy. both sides of the coin are wrong. mocking genocide isn't worse than appropriating it. both are wrong. >> michelle, the defense -- and it's important for rebecca to make these points. the defense of donald trump based on a trope about him that he doesn't know any better. he's just a 72-year-old man who doesn't know anything

elizabeth warren and the 2020 crisis. she registered as an american indian when she ran in texas more than 30 years ago. new cnn poll numbers this hour on joe biden in 2020. these things rarely end as they begin, but the early numbers may prove hard for the former vice president to ignore. the state of the union is still divided. the president's big speech did include a few bipartisan olive branches, but his tone on immigration, investigations and the democrats is driving the morning-after debate. >> we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country. [ booing ] >> america was founded on liberty and independence and not government coercion, domination and control. we are born free and we will stay free. [ cheers and applause ] tonight, we renew our resolve that america will never be a socialist country. >> we begin the hour right there with the president's state of the union, bipartisan wishes overshadowed by bipartisan thumps and the biggest pressing question, no guarantees the government won't shut down a

elizabeth warren is behind her.as yet to enter. she made a good name for herself during the kavanaugh hearings. yesterday stories broke over the wire that she is a terrible boss. to me that is female shaming. i know plenty of bad bosses in washington who would never have a story like that written about them. but as a woman, whenever you're going to be the first, as you know, you will get this kind of nonsense. if you're asking me who i think is the top contender in a democratic field among women, i would have to give that to kamala harris. full disclosure, i'm a little biased. but she has had the best roll swrorollout so far. i think cory booker, who i grow up near in south jersey. he's from the north. i'm from the south. i have known him over 20 years or so. and i think cory will have a positive message with young people. he has a strong following on social media. probably the best in the field with young, with millennials. they like him. he connects. he's urban. lives in an urban area. lived in the city. been a bi

for a sense of heidi what do you think elizabeth warren's campaign messages are likely to be. well felicity in this very crowded field of other democratic contenders elizabeth warren has tried to distinguish herself as a liberal firebrand she has championed wealth reform and in recent days outlining a plan she has that would tax the ultra rich americans people who have more than fifty million dollars in wealth however as popular as these policy initiatives may be with liberal base she does have quite a liability and that is what you touched upon earlier with her claims of native american ancestry now she just seems to i'm not able to escape the controversy surrounding those claims just this week the washington post had another headline that unveiled that elizabeth warren had claimed her race as native american in an one nine hundred eighty six or just ration card with the texas bar now a little thing like that which. some say isn't such a big deal she's apologized she may however be used by trump if she were to be his opponent in attacking her and democratic voters have said i

mj lee is out. >> i am not a tribe am citizen. >> reporter: it's the controversy that elizabeth warren can't put to rest. a new headline from "the washington post" revising criticism about the senator's claims of native american heritage. in 1986, warren filling out american indian as her race on a texas state bar registration card. an aide to the senator not disputing to cnn that the word written in blue ink, are, in fact, her handwriting. it prompted another apology today. >> when i was growing up in oklahoma, i learned about my family the same way most people do. i am not a member of a tribe and i have apologized for not being more sensitive to that distinction. >> reporter: the massachusetts democrat dogged by the controversy for years, going back to her first senate race in 2012. >> when she applied to penn and harvard, she checked the box climbing she was a native american. clearly, she's not. >> reporter: her critics slamming her decision to self identify as native american saying it gave her a leg up in her legal career. president trump relentless in his public mocking. >> i sa

particularly elizabeth warren, likely appealing to voters into those issues.he's always claimed to be more about the ideas and the issues than about him or about any kind of personality. and yet he has to make a decision about does this platform need me in the race? do i need to be the one to speak for these issues when all these other people are also speaking for these issues? he's really looking at whether a lane remains for him in such a crowded field and we're hearing that an announcement could be imminent. >> come on, bernie. lutz know. eliana? >> i'm looking out to the president's second summit with north korea's kim jong-un which the white house announced this week the president said in the state of the union would be at the end of this month. the 27th and 28th in hanoi, vietnam. and my question is whether this will simply be a repeat of last year's summit in singapore which was basically just a media spectacle. we saw the meeting of the first two leaders. there was a lot of anticipation of simply watching these guys shake hands. that won't be as exciti

here's chris buckler in washington, with more on elizabeth warren's campaign strategy. aside from president trump, who she is presenting as somebody who is wealthy and privileged and essentially be a late and she tried to present herself as someone of the working people. in fact, she even walked onto the stage with that anthem of working women, nine to five playing. it gives you a sense that elizabeth warren is trying to rally the grassroots of ordinary people, choosing that old manufacturing town of florence to show again that she was alongside those people who, in the past, had fought for workers‘ rights and had fought for workers pay. i think we have had this antagonistic relationship between her and donald trump. donald trump has referred to her time and time again as pocahontas. he likes to give nicknames to some of his political opponents and this nickname, pocahontas, comes from her claims that she has, in her past, some native american heritage. but how she has used those claims has been really controversial. he, for example, the president encouraged her and cha

as of saturday, elizabeth warren.s been a rough week for her vis-a-vis her claims to be native american and donald trump is having a field day. what do you think? is she going to be able to push past this? >> i think she'll probably be able to push past it. i mean, i think she's in some ways assisted by the comments the president made. the president's illusion to the trail of tears was extremely inappropriate and i think that many democratic voters will react badly to that. it will become perhaps more defensive of her in light of the president's insensitivities. i thought it significant that she plays to a campaign very squarely in the history of the american labor movement, the i union movement and they provide a great deal of funding, since 2010, about a billion dollars have been given from unions to democratic candidates. and they have millions of members. in 2016, many of the major unions backed hillary clinton. so i think that one of the things that i think elizabeth warren is trying to do is to pitch herself to

elizabeth warren, had issues. hard to see her face. but just reading off ap paper, amy klobuchar. >> if you're elizabeth warren or cory booker, you're going say, should we let george will pick our candidate? working for the "washington post," hard with amy klobuchar. that leaves a lot of space on the left and i imagine the other primary contenders are going to attack her on the left before the snow melts. >> george will's motivation is not to promote -- it's to defeat donald trump. simple as that. he's basically saying, look, as a conservative republican, as a conservative, he, and he's not a republican anymore but conservative, she would have a good chance beating donald trump. there is a coalition that does want to beat donald trump. >> i have to say for, from the optics standpoint, look at her out there, 58 years old, and you know that if joe biden puts his hat in the ring it is not going to be in this sort of setting at all. >> no. i don't think it's going to be in this type of setting and also think he's a different type of candid

i'm elizabeth warren, apro prove this message -- approve this message. what do we got, katherine? ith something. listen i like what warren stands for, but she's toast. trump will beat her because the story is too complex for most people to follow correctly without jumping to any conclusions. it's 5,000 words. it will take 2000 minutes to read it. it's much easier to say pocahontas. if you read it, i'm keenly interested in this, she was employed by my alma mater the university of pennsylvania law school. i incorrectly assumed she played that card to get the job. the conclusion is otherwise. the documents say differently. >>> up ahead, when "the national enquirer" threatened amazon's jeff bezos, the world's richest man provided the post one of the richest headlines, when enquirer david pecker be caught in a ringer? >>> and meet the harvard astronomer saying an object in the milky way may be proof we are not alone in the universe. due believe with harvard acintronner avi loeb to think that it's arrogant to assume we are alone in the universe? the team? gooo team... order online pickup

the left—wing democratic senator, elizabeth warren, has announced that she's standing for the us presidencyw professor at harvard university, is expected to make the fight against economic inequality the centrepiece of her campaign. she's been speaking at a rally in the city of lawrence in her home state of massachusetts, at the site of a historic labour strike in 1912 that was led by women and immigrants. look at any other major issue in america. gun violence. student loan debt. the crushing cost of health care. mistreatment of our veterans. a broken criminaljustice system. an immigration system that lacks common sense and under this administration lacks a conscience. cheering and applause. 0verwhelming majorities of americans want action. huge crowds march on washington demanding change. letters, phone calls, protest, but nothing happens. nothing. why? because if you do not have money and you don't have connections, washington does not want to hear from you. when government works only for the wealthy and the well—connected, that is corruption, plain and simple and we need to call it out.

i asked him where elizabeth warren stands on the list of democrat candidates so far. the message that she has said. very much trying to set herself aside from president trump, who she is presenting as somebody who is wealthy and privileged and essentially the elite and she tried to present herself as someone of the working people. in fact, she even walked onto the stage with that anthem of working women, nine to five playing. it gives you a sense that elizabeth warren is trying to rally the grassroots of ordinary people, choosing that old manufacturing town of lawrence to show again that she was alongside those people truthfully, though, it is a very wide field at the minute and there isn't really a front runner as things stand. if you take a look at some of the other candidates, kamala harris has had a very good start. she was very accomplished and very articulate in her prime time cnn special, in which she spoke to people who were potential voters. again, corey brooker, he is out on the campaign trail today, he is in iowa and he is speaking there, again trying to ge

and i think you see him starting to do that already with elizabeth warren. >> 100%.et's put up the statement he was saying. susan, we all know this and you say he will start the tweets and attacking, but will he pay more attention to the people he's most worried about as far as a threat and is that person at this point elizabeth warren. >> i think he will use whatever gives him the most traction. that causes people to talk about it more. because he is already done it with elizabeth warren and quite successfully for the last two years. so i expect fully -- i expect him to continue it. if he finds something in the same vain with somebody else, it could be considered one of the second or third tier candidates, or it could be a first tier candidate, whatever works for his narrative. but what is interesting in the announcement, we talked about senators harris and warren and we're not talking about senator gillibrand or cory booker. and i think this speech today by elizabeth warren hurt them in that she talked about corporate money and no super pacs. these are two northeas

so what more do we know about elizabeth warren?cratic senator has always positioned herself on the left of the party. she s a former professor at harvard law school, where she taught bankruptcy law. she first emerged as a consumer activist during the financial crisis and she's a critic of big banks and unregulated capitalism. speaking in the last few minutes senator warren says big structural change is needed to improve the lives of americans. today, millions and millions and millions of american families are also struggling to survive in a system that has been raped, raided by the wealthy and the well—connected. hard—working people we re well—connected. hard—working people were up against a small group at that hose file —— far too much power not just that hose file —— far too much power notjust in our economy but also in oui’ notjust in our economy but also in our democracy. —— rigged. like the women of lawrence, we are here to say, enough is enough. let's cross to washington and to our correspondent, chris buckler. chrissy been f

el elizabeth warren is not that person. that's why you see so many observers waiting with bated breath to see if someone like biden does get in the race, to see if somebody like sherrod brown who does speak to working class americans quite effectively, to see if these people do get in the race. once that happens and you have that progressive ring filled up and you have the more moderate ones start to get clustered, that i when i think this white house has to worry in effect that members in the, you know, on the fringes of the base will actually consider defecting come november. >> she made some pledges, you know, if elected president. she also made this pledge while on the campaign trail. >> we need to end the unwritten rule of politics that says anyone who wants to run for office has to start by sucking up to a bunch of rich donors on wall street and powerful insiders in washington. so i'm opting out of that rule. i'm not taking a dime of pac money in this campaign. i'm not taking a single check from a federal lobbyist. >>

sunday senator elizabeth warren took her 2020 message to iowiow.ident tweet swe tweets by saying he might be in jail by the time the election comes around. >> by the time we get to 2020, donald trump play -- may not even be president. [ applause ] >> in fact, he may not even been a free person. >> i'm joined by susan page. you know what, some people like that stuff. do you? >> yeah. >> really tough, in your face. >> senator warren loves campaigning. you can tell that. she's very effective on the stump. her announcement was fantastic. what i think of what makes an effective announcement if you're running for president especially in crowded primary, what is the message you're delivering and what am i going to remember as a potential voter, as a democratic primary voter. when i think of elizabeth warren, i think of fighter who wants to take a system that's rigged for the wealthy and help the middle class. i think of somebody like amy klobuchar i think of someone who has grit and determination and wants to work across the aisle with messages. tonally,

so i think that elizabeth warren said enough is enough. is going after me and a subset of people, then you have to respond in kind. and think while democrats don't want president trump to be their only focus, at the end of the day if he is going to make statements such as those, then democrats are going to want her to fight back because even in the primary you're just going up against your own party, eventually the main prize is going up against the president of the united states so you have to show you're able to push back. >> do the numbers predict that and want people fighting the president day in and day out? >> no. most important thing is electability and if you can't fight back against the president of the united states then what are you going to be doing in the again election? are you going to be speaking about your own issues as the president dominates the media? you have to show that you can fight on the same stage that he is. >> let's talk about amy klobuchar. she in typical minnesota fashion ape nounsed in a snowstorm. >> it's a

here's chris buckler in washington with more on elizabeth warren's campaign strategy.herself aside from donald trump. trying to present herself as someone of the working people, she stepped on the stage with the working women's anthem of nine to five. choosing a turn to show again that she was alongside those people who had fought for workers rights and pay. i think we have had this antagonistic relationship between her and donald trump. he has referred to her time and time again as pocahontas. it comes from her claims that she had in her past native american heritage. how she has use of a claim isa heritage. how she has use of a claim is a very controversial. he encouraged her to take a dna test. that immediately had a response from the cherokee nation and that was a bad idea. they have been critical about how she claimed native american citizenship in the past for university. but truthfully, there is no front—runner as things stand. harris has had a very good start. she was very articulate when she spoke to people who were potential voters. cory booker is out on the

not elizabeth warren. >> harris: i heard you chiming in there.mer aides, melissa, are speaking anonymously about fear of retribution described as "toxic office environment, including demeaning emails." that is speaking to what charlie assange, not on the record necessarily. >> melissa: it feels like a bit of a hit job, even if it's true in some way and she is a tough boss. only because it flies in the face of the image she has put out there, even if you look at her presentation where it says "amy," and she is put forward as this "aw shucks" kind of candidate. it would undermine that and go against it. but as a sexist field to me, because it feels like somebody is driving down the road that ss not likable. that has worked on other women, so they -- that's what starts if you like. >> lisa: i disagree. i don't think it sexist. i think it sexist to believe that as a woman somehow you should be insulated from these kinds of attacks. melissa is right -- the reason this could impact her, her 2015 memoir is "the senator next door." her whole shtick is th
