Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren drops out of the US presidential race election after disappointing finishes in primary contests across the country on Super Tuesday.

Warren, a 70-year-old Massachusetts senator, will have a conversation with her campaign staff, AFP reports. She announced that she was withdrawing her candidacy for the party's presidential nomination.

An unusually heated clash of rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination could be the hallmark of Jan. 14 night's televised debate in Iowa.

Just six candidates are gathering in Des Moines, the smallest number yet on a debate stage. That dynamic will offer candidates more opportunities to criticize each other's proposals as well as tout their own.

Elizabeth Warren repeatedly came under attack during Oct. 15's Democratic presidential debate as rivals accused the Massachusetts senator of ducking questions about the cost of Medicare for All and her signature "wealth tax" plan in an attempt to derail her rising campaign.

Democratic presidential hopefuls honed their attack lines hours before July 30's high-stakes debate, with leading liberals Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders expected to battle over who will be a torchbearer for the party's progressive wing.
