Warren Makes Big Announcement About Her Political Future"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Dem<\/p>\n

Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced on Monday morning that she will run for re-election.<\/p>\n

Warren, who has held her Senate seat since 2012, released a video on her Twitter account that featured Massachusetts voters singing her praises. Warren\u2019s announcement also comes after she made some surprising comments last month that led some to believe she may have been considering a 2024 presidential run.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve won some big victories for working families in Massachusetts and across the country, but there\u2019s a lot more to do. So today I\u2019m making it official: I\u2019m running for re-election to keep up the fight,\u201d Warren announced on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross Massachusetts, Elizabeth makes sure we have a choice,\u201d one voter says in the video.<\/p>\n

Warren fed some speculation earlier this month when she declined to endorse President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for 2024.<\/p>\n

Her remarks at the time, which she has clarified since, resulted in Harris refusing to return Warren\u2019s phone calls after the Massachusetts Democrat didn\u2019t endorse Harris as Biden\u2019s vice president for 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cWarren has called Harris twice to apologize for her comments, according to CNN, but the vice president has not returned her calls.\u00a0The Massachusetts senator seemed to stop short of endorsing Harris as Biden\u2019s running mate in 2024 during a Boston Public Radio interview in January. The radio host asked Warren if Harris should be Biden\u2019s running mate if he runs for re-election in 2024,\u201d Fox News\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team,\u201d she responded. \u201cI\u2019ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala. I knew her back when she was an attorney general and I was still teaching and we worked on the housing crisis together, so we go way back. But they need \u2014 they have to be a team, and my sense is they are \u2014 I don\u2019t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

After her interview on GBH News, Warren clarified her comments and said she fully supports a Biden-Harris 2024 ticket.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fully support the President\u2019s and Vice President\u2019s re-election together, and never intended to imply otherwise,\u201d Warren told GBH News. \u201cThey\u2019re a terrific team with a strong record of delivering for working families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several Democrats are admitting that they have lost hope in Vice President Kamala Harris, with some admitting to the media that Harris is a liability for the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n

The New York Times\u00a0headlined\u00a0in an article that Harris is struggling to \u201cdefine her vice presidency and that even her allies are tired of waiting.\u201d The outlet added that more and more Democrats are beginning to agree that Harris is a disappointment at best.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the painful reality for Ms. Harris is that in private conversations over the last few months, dozens of Democrats in the White House, on Capitol Hill, and around the nation \u2014 including some who helped put her on the party\u2019s 2020 ticket \u2014 said she had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party, much less the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even some Democrats who were supposed to be supporters of Harris \u201cconfided privately that they had lost hope in her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democratic fundraiser John Morgan was so fed up that he went on the record against Harris, arguing her weakness as vice president will be \u201cone of the most hard-hitting arguments against Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t take a genius to say, \u2018Look, with his age, we have to really think about this,\u2019\u201d he argued. \u201cI can\u2019t think of one thing she\u2019s done except stay out of the way and stand beside him at certain ceremonies.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a letter to Cook, Trump said the\u00a0Federal Reserve\u00a0Act provides that she can be removed at his discretion.<\/p>\n

“As set forth in the Criminal Referral dated August 15, 2025, from Mr. William J. Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to Ms. Pamela Bondi, Attorney General of the United States\u2026there is sufficient reason to believe you may have made false statements on one or more mortgage agreements,” Trump wrote. “For example, as detailed in the Criminal Referral, you signed one document attesting that a property in Michigan would be your primary residence for the next year.<\/p>\n

“Two weeks later, you signed another document for a property in Georgia stating that it would be your primary residence for the next year,” Trump continued. “It is inconceivable that you were not aware of your first commitment when making the second. It is impossible that you intended to honor both.”<\/p>\n

TRUMP CALLS FOR FED GOVERNOR’S RESIGNATION AS ALLY REQUESTS DOJ PROBE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump wrote that the Federal Reserve has a “tremendous responsibility” to set interest rates and regulate banks.<\/p>\n

He added that Americans must have full confidence in the honesty of those setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n

“In light of your deceitful and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot, and I do not have such confidence in your integrity,” Trump wrote. “At a minimum, the conduct at issue exhibits the sort of gross negligence in financial transactions that calls into question your competence and trustworthiness as a financial regulator.”<\/p>\n

He concluded ordering her immediate removal from office.<\/p>\n

FED CHAIR JEROME POWELL SIGNALS JOB MARKET, INFLATION OUTLOOK COULD ALLOW FOR INTEREST RATE CUT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cook has not been charged with any crime.<\/p>\n

FOX Business has reached out to the Federal Reserve for comment regarding Cook\u2019s removal.<\/p>\n

Trump threatened to remove Cook from her role on Friday as she faces mortgage fraud allegations that are under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The investigation was sparked by a criminal referral filed by Pulte, a staunch ally of Trump\u2019s and a critic of the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n

“I’ll fire her if she doesn’t resign,” Trump told reporters on Friday. “What she did was bad.”<\/p>\n

Pulte sent his referral to the DOJ on Wednesday and accused her of having “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud under the criminal statute.”<\/p>\n

Under federal law governing the Federal Reserve system, the president can only remove a sitting governor\u00a0for cause, which has historically been interpreted as applying to malfeasance or misconduct, rather than policy disagreements.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s action to remove Cook from her role marks the first time in history that a president has attempted to remove a sitting Federal Reserve governor, and it could lead to a legal battle.<\/p>\n

The president and his allies have repeatedly urged the Fed to cut interest rates in an effort to boost the economy and lower the cost of servicing the more than $37 trillion U.S. national debt, though Trump has backed off past threats to fire Fed Chair\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cook was appointed to the Fed by President\u00a0Joe Biden\u00a0in 2022 and was confirmed by the Senate on a party-line vote of 51-47 in September 2023. Her term as a Fed governor runs 14 years, from 2024 to 2038.<\/p>\n
