WASHINGTON _ Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren will seek a second term in 2018. Her announcement came in an email to supporters Friday morning, the Boston Globe reported.
"The people of Massachusetts didn't send me to Washington to roll over and play dead while Donald Trump and his team of billionaires, bigots, and Wall Street bankers crush the working people of our Commonwealth and this country," Warren wrote. "This is no time to quit."
The progressive senator has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate. She'd still be able to run in 2020 if she wins a second term in 2018.
Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling said in October he was ready to run against Warren _ pending his wife's approval. In a Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll conducted later that month, Warren led Schilling 58-24 percent in a hypothetical matchup.
Warren won her first term in 2012, defeating former GOP Sen. Scott Brown, 54 to 46 percent.
