Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren finished a four-city tour in Iowa on Sunday, opening 2019 by visiting one of the most critical states on her path towards obtaining her party's nomination for the 2020 presidential race.
On December 31, Warren announced on Twitter and her website that she'd be launching an exploratory committee for president. She followed that up by unveiling plans on Tuesday to travel to Iowa over the weekend, which will hold the first presidential nominating contest for Democratic candidates in a little over a year for the 2020 race.
Every person in America should be able to work hard, play by the same set of rules, & take care of themselves & the people they love. That's what I'm fighting for, & that's why I'm launching an exploratory committee for president. I need you with me: https://t.co/BNl2I1m8OX pic.twitter.com/uXXtp94EvY
