Sen. Elizabeth Warren vows she’ll finish term

BOSTON – U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren pledged Wednesday to serve out her full six-year term and not run for president in 2016.

Warren has repeatedly denied she’s interested in campaigning for the White House, but liberal Democratic activists have continued to speculate about a possible Warren presidential bid.

Speaking to reporters in Boston after a meeting with the city’s Mayor-elect Martin Walsh, Warren vowed to serve out the remainder of her term. She’s currently in her first year.

“I am not running for president. I am working as hard as I can to be the best possible senator that I can be and to fight for the things that I promised during my campaign that I would fight for,” Warren said.

Warren, who defeated former Republican Sen. Scott Brown last year in one of the nation’s most closely watched and expensive contests, said those issues include holding banks and Wall Street accountable and helping rebuild the nation’s middle class.
