Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts senator whose brand of big tech-busting, corruption-fighting progressive politics at one time made her a frontrunner in the race for president, is ending her campaign, according to multiple media outlets.

CNN, MSNBC and The New York Times are all reporting Warren will end her bid. The Times was the first outlet to report she’s dropping out.
Warren’s departure from the Democratic primary comes after a disastrous Super Tuesday where didn’t finish above third in any state, building her streak to 19 contests that she lost. She even lost her home state, finishing a distant third in Massachusetts.
Warren campaigned on a mantra of “big structural change” to tackle political corruption and money in politics, while championing a slew of liberal causes such as Medicare for All, retiring student debt, and breaking up big tech such as Facebook. Now is not the time to “nimble around the edges,” she repeatedly said on the campaign trail.
