Elizabeth Warren is having a tough time as a presidential candidate. Her campaign has significantly weakened over the past few months as the lies about Medicare-for-All and phony moral superiority tests catch up with her.
As a politician and current presidential candidate, Warren is known for being radical and extremely far left. She has no qualms about hiking taxes, weaponizing the government against folks who have prospered, and pitting Americans against one another for her own political gain.

As Warren’s campaign crashes and burns, she’s now entering into what appears to be a feud with presidential rival, yet longtime friend Bernie Sanders. Warren and Sanders are greatly aligned in their allegiance to socialism and radically left policies; however, as the 2020 race intensifies, the knives are coming out and candidates aren’t hesitating to take shots at one another.
Per reports from Breitbart News, Warren and Sanders’ back-and-forth has attracted so much attention that President Trump himself weighed in on matters.
What Happened Between Warren and Sanders?
As the 2020 race heats up, Sanders is rumored to have made some comments, either directly or through his staffers, about Warren being backed by the “elite.” This is a common talking point which Sanders uses against his opponents, although it’s been mainly reserved for Joe Biden. However, Warren got wind of these alleged remarks and she wasn’t happy.
The Massachusetts senator responded, professing that Sanders ordered his “volunteers” to “trash” her campaign. Warren also maintains that she and the socialist have known each other for quite some time and that Sanders knows “who [she is], where [she comes] from, what [she has] worked on and fought for.”
In the wake of all this, Trump jumped in with his thoughts via Twitter. As seen above, the president noted Warren’s anger towards Sanders and questioned the potential for a “feud” between the two candidates.
Trump’s point about wanting Warren’s voters would explain why Sanders feels more inclined to go after her; in light of similar policies that both candidates share, Warren and Sanders speak to virtually identical demographics of voters.
Where Does Warren Go from Here?
Warren’s campaign continues sinking into the ground and there’s no indication of this changing anytime soon. The latest hits from Trump and Sanders come right after her tussles with former Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Last month, Buttigieg hit Warren for constantly misleading Americans about Medicare-for-All and who all will be paying for it. The pair also sparred over Warren’s “purity” tests regarding manners of political fundraising.

Thus far, 2020 has prompted three Democrats to suspend their presidential campaigns. In light of the current turn of events, Warren’s candidacy might be next to hit the chopping block.
