On Thursday evening, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren endorsed Hillary Clinton for president during an interview on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show. Senator Warren said, “I am ready to get in this fight and work my heart out for Hillary Clinton.” The endorsement is important because Senator Warren represents the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party, and her role will certainly include working to ensure the party unites behind Clinton. Clinton tweeted her thanks to Senator Warren, but on Friday, Clinton and Senator Warren met in private and mapped out their plans for the general election cycle.

On Thursday evening, during the American Constitution Society convention, Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Speaking about the Senate’s refusal to confirm President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, he said, “Keep in mind, we have another entire term of this potential confusion if the vote is not allowed this year. Anybody who thinks that whatever the next president — and God willing, in my view, it’ll be Secretary Clinton. Now, I don’t say that for political reasons, but whoever it is, even if it is a Democrat, the idea this will be brought up within a month or two or three is highly unlikely.” Clinton thanked the Vice President for his endorsement in a tweet.
