Elizabeth Warren announced her decision to drop out of the 2020 presidential race on Thursday
Warren’s team said Wednesday she was weighing her options after a disappointing showing on “Super Tuesday,” in which 14 states all voted at once — and she failed to win a single contest, even coming in third in her home state of Massachusetts.

Addressing her campaign staff in a call on Thursday morning, Warren, 70, spoke of the work she said the team had accomplished so far, even if they fell short of their goal, and she looked to the fights ahead. She also stung former rival , the billionaire three-term mayor of New York City, one last time after going viral in a takedown of him at a February debate.
“In this campaign, we have been willing to fight, and, when necessary, we left plenty of blood and teeth on the floor. And I can think of one billionaire who has been denied the chance to buy this election,” she said.
