Warren has continuously polled third or fourth next to other Democratic presidential candidates, but pledged on Sunday to not give up the fight.
“It seems like to me that Denver is ready for some big structural change,” she said.
Warren’s speech focused on her three main running points: cancelling student loan debt, attending to the climate crisis and ending corruption in the White House.
She spoke on being raised in Oklahoma in a working-class family and referred to the money struggles that her family lived through as the reason she understands how to fight for the things she wants.
One thing is made clear through her speech: she wants the presidential candidacy. Warren laid in on democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg, using his billionaire status as a point of comparison to Donald Trump.
“Let us not trade one billionaire for another…I won’t let billionaires have a veto over the wealth tax.” she said.
Warren’s strong stance on fair taxation on the wealthy is similar to democrat candidate Bernie Sanders. Particularly important in the primary, Warren compared her plan to Bernie’s who is currently leading in the polls. She cites that the main difference between the two candidates are their opinions on keeping the filibuster.
Senator Warren has long opposed the filibuster, as she said in an interview with CNN in April, “If Mitch McConnell tries to do what he did to President Obama and puts small-minded partisanship ahead of solving the massive problems facing this country, then we should get rid of the filibuster.”
The filibuster, a legislative process by which the consideration of a bill is delayed through a lengthy debate by the minority party. This process is currently being held by the senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, forcing bills to be passed through a supermajority.
The filibuster would delay the passage of proposals that her campaign hinges on, like the green new deal. Warren proposed to not stop at the passage of the green new deal, but to also push through a blue new deal which would protect our oceans.
Warren’s strong stance has stemmed from her proposal for an anti-lynching bill which would address racial issues in America.
When asked how she would attract black voters, Warren responded with her plan to fill the White House with people that represent what America looks like and allocate the appropriate funds to address racial inequality.
She stated “3.2 million dollars toward new housing units in America… and make investments to close the entrepreneurship gap in America”
Warren ended her speech, stating her hopes for the America, rallying applause from the Colorado voters preparing for the presidential primary on March 3.
“This is our moment to dream big, fight hard and win.”

I really enjoyed reading your article! I liked how you emphasized how she is always polling third or fourth, but wants to continue fighting as a female candidate. I also liked how descriptive and detailed you were on the foundation and main points of Warren’s campaign and how it compares to Sanders and other Democratic nominees.
