US senator Elizabeth Warren, a liberal firebrand who has taken on Wall Street and traded barbs with Donald Trump, has announced she is seeking to challenge the Republican President in 2020.
Key points:
- Elizabeth Warren has represented Massachusetts in the Senate since 2013
- She is a high-profile critic of Wall Street and has campaigned for stronger regulation since the GFC
- The Democrat primaries are expected to attract a strong range of candidates
Senator Warren said she had formed an exploratory committee, which will allow her to begin raising money to compete in what is expected to be a crowded Democratic primary field, before the November 2020 presidential election.
Whether that leads to her actually running for president will be decided in the next few months, she said.
Senator Warren, 69, who has represented Massachusetts since 2013, was one of Mr Trump's fiercest critics during the 2016 presidential race and they have continued to exchange biting insults during his presidency.
Senator Warren has denounced Mr Trump as an "insecure money grubber" with a platform of "racism, sexism and xenophobia" while Mr Trump has described the former Harvard Law School professor as "goofy" and a "low life" with "a nasty mouth".
Several hours after the announcement, Mr Trump had not responded but Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel called Senator Warren "another extreme far-left obstructionist and a total fraud".
On Monday, Senator Warren released a video in which she outlined her vision of a path to opportunity for all Americans, not just the wealthy.
Senator Warren is likely to face a crowded field of Democrats, including senators Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, as well as former vice-president Joe Biden.
Former San Antonio mayor Julian Castro — former president Barack Obama's housing secretary — formed an exploratory committee in December.
In searching for a candidate to run against the President, Democrats will grapple with the tension between the party's establishment and progressive wings that flared during the 2016 primary between Hillary Clinton and senator Bernie Sanders, an independent who ran under the Democratic banner.
A Warren candidacy will expect opposition from Wall Street; in the US Senate, she has been a strong voice on financial issues and a self-described defender of the ordinary American against powerful interests.
Advocate for stronger banking regulations
Following the 2007-2009 global financial crisis, Senator Warren emerged as a leading critic of Wall Street and continues to advocate for stronger regulation and oversight, including reinstating a rule that would separate banks' retail business from their riskier investment banking activities.
Senator Warren, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, has fought the Trump administration's efforts to weaken post-crisis financial rules.
