U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is exploring a presidential campaign for the 2020 election.
Roll Call reports she established an exploratory committee Dec. 31 to determine her favorability for a Democratic nomination.
Warren won her midterm election over Republican Geoff Diehl in November.
Warren helped establish the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection during the Obama administration and has been one of its top critics since former director Richard Cordray resigned.
While Warren is the most “high-profile candidate” whose name is in the mix for 2020, several others have announced their interest in a presidential bid, according to Roll Call. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, a Democrat, started an exploratory committee recently and U.S. Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., Democrat West Virginia State Sen. Richard Ojeda, and Andrew Yang, an entrepreneur, have announced their presidential goals.
