Early today, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren officially and formally announced her entry into the 2020 presidential election.

Like many Democrats, Warren has branded herself as a trailblazing progressive who will successfully take on President Trump. As Warren announced her entry into the race, she also blasted the current administration. The senator claimed that President Trump has “the most corrupt [administration] in living memory.” However, Warren maintained that simply reversing the policies of the Trump-era is not enough for the Democrats.
“It won’t be enough to just undo the terrible acts of this administration. We can’t afford to just tinker around the edges – a tax credit here, a regulation there. Our fight is for big, structural change.”
The “structural change” which Warren favors is viewed as radical by many Americans. Over the past few months, Democrats have faced backlash for extremely far-left positions; these positions include abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ending private healthcare, exponentially raising taxes on the wealthy, and instating the Green New Deal.
