WASHINGTON
— A draft movement to encourage Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren to
run for president intends to suspend its campaign next week. Warren has
repeatedly said she will not seek the Democratic nomination for
president.
MoveOn.org
and Democracy for America say they plan to suspend their Run Warren Run
campaign on June 8 and deliver a petition to Warren with more than
365,000 signatures urging her to run for president.
The
groups say they want to focus their efforts on working with the senator
on issues like defeating the so-called "fast track" authority to speed
up consideration of trade deals such as the proposed Trans-Pacific
Partnership.
Hillary
Rodham Clinton is the leading Democratic presidential candidate, but
some have pushed Warren to challenge Clinton as a way to champion
liberal issues.
