Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren talks with reporters outside her home in Cambridge after announcing that she is setting up an exploratory committee for a run for the presidency in 2020.

On the last day of 2018, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren made an announcement that she is taking the first steps towards a presidential run in 2020. 

Meanwhile, another high-profile progressive from New England, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who has said that he is considering running in 2020, is facing complaints surrounding his 2016 campaign, from women who alleged the candidate mishandled staff complaints about sexual harassment and pay disparity.

Khalilah Brown-Dean is an Associate Professor Of Political Science at Quinnipiac University who’s been closely following our region’s role in this race that’s already underway. She joins us to discuss the role of New England politicians in 2020.
