Senator Elizabeth Warren isn’t running for President

I collected a couple of “Elizabeth Warren for President” buttons at the California Democratic Party convention two weekends ago, but her “candidacy is something that’s not going to happen.  In one of the more definitive statements to date, Senator Warren has made it clear she’s not a candidate for president in 2016 because “I already have a job.”

Warren sat down with the editors of ReCode at the annual Code Conference in Terranea yesterday.  You can read the coverage of the event here.

From the story:

Why are you not running for president, Warren was asked Tuesday night during an interview with Re/code co-founders Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.

“I have a full-time job,” Warren responded.

Could you beat Hillary?

That’s not something I put energy into, she answered.

We encourage readers to check out the LiveBlog and video of the Warren interview on the link above.

Also from the story in regards to her fight against TPP:

“She also drew criticism recently from President Obama for her fierce opposition to a trade bill sought by corporate America. “This is not personal for me. This is the same work I’ve been doing all along,” she responded during the interview, after being questioned about the rift with the president over trade issues.

“We disagree on this. I don’t take this personally but I fight for what I believe in,” she said.
