In a reelection campaign video, Warren declared, "I initially ran for Senate because I recognized how the system is rigged for the rich and the powerful and against everyone else." "Now, I'm running for Senate again because we still have a lot to accomplish."
In a 2 1/2-minute film, Warren's fans praised her for achieving a minimal corporation tax, making strides toward reducing student loan debt, securing a new fleet of electric school buses for Boston, and raising the price of over-the-counter hearing aids.
Warren, a former Harvard professor, win her first Senate seat in 2012. She oversaw the Congressional Oversight Panel of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the program to bail out the biggest banks in order to prevent a full disaster in the financial sector, during the 2008 financial crisis, which catapulted her into the national spotlight.
Later, during the Obama administration, she contributed to the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Agency. In her reelection video, Warren made a passing allusion to her work on banking reforms.
She joked in the video, "Oh, and as I've been saying for years, put stronger controls on banks so they don't crash and injure working people."
In recent weeks, Warren has worked to stop the repeal of requirements for smaller and midsize banks that were first established by the Dodd-Frank Act. She has also contributed to efforts to create a new Federal Reserve watchdog.
Warren courted progressives throughout her term and briefly launched a failed 2020 presidential campaign. She is supporting Joe Biden in this race, even though he has not yet declared his candidacy.
Massachusetts is home to many aspirational Democrats who would be eager to run for Warren's position if she had decided to resign. She has strong support in her states for a reelection attempt, according to little polls.
For retaining control of the Senate in 2024, Democrats will have to contend with one of the nation's harshest electoral maps in recent memory. In stark contrast to the Republicans' 11, there are now twenty Democratic senators up for reelection, together with three Democratic-aligned independent senators. Democrats are predicted to have a good chance of winning Massachusetts.
