Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced that she was formally establishing a presidential campaign exploratory committee.
A former Harvard law professor and champion of consumer protection, Warren is on the shortlist of potential 2020 Democratic candidates. Her fundraising prowess and popularity in progressive circles has left many in Washington referring to her as one of a few early front-runners as well, though more than two dozen other Democrats are also rumored to be considering presidential runs.
The video message out features childhood pictures. Warren discusses her life growing up in Oklahoma where her mother worked a minimum wage job and her introduction into politics, when she helped President Barack Obama establish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau after the 2008 financial crisis. She is 69 years old.
