Sen. Warren Rules Out 2016 Presidential Run 
--------------------------------------------


 
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has ruled out a
presidential run in 2016. Warren had recently been the subject of
growing speculation as a potential progressive challenger to Hillary
Clinton, who is widely expected to seek the Democratic nomination.
Warren has generated a wide following as a vocal proponent of Wall
Street regulation and the key figure behind the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau. But speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Warren vowed
to serve out the remainder of her Senate term, through 2018. Supporters
of a Warren candidacy note then-Senator Obama made the same pledge
before changing his mind to run in 2008.
