Railing Against Corruption, Democratic White House Hopeful Warren Rallies
Thousands in NY

   NEW YORK - Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on Monday
   delivered a fierce denunciation of the corruption she argues has
   crippled the country's political and economic systems, speaking to a
   crowd whose enthusiasm and size testified to her campaign's growing
   strength.

   "When you see a government that works great for those with money and
   connections, and doesn't do much for anyone else, that's corruption,
   plain and simple, and we need to call it out for what it is," Warren
   said, as thousands of New Yorkers holding up "I'm a Warren Democrat"
   placards cheered underneath an overcast sky in Manhattan's Washington
   Square Park.

   The rally came on the same day that Warren won the endorsement of the
   Working Families Party (WFP), a progressive group with rising political
   influence that previously backed U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders during his
   2016 White House bid.

   Nearly two-thirds of the organization's thousands of members chose
   Warren. The endorsement could boost Warren's chances of positioning
   herself, rather than Sanders, as the liberal alternative to Democratic
   front-runner Joe Biden, the former vice president.
