“Democrats would be making a big mistake if they let Hillary Clinton coast to the presidential nomination without opposition, and, as a national leader, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren can make sure that doesn’t happen,” the newspaper’s editorial board wrote.
“If she puts her causes and goals front and center, as Democrats gather their forces for the crucial 2016 campaign, Warren could enrich the political process for years to come,” the editorial continued.The Globe said Warren’s efforts on the economy and income equality were powerful ammunition if she chose to run against Clinton or other potential competitors.
