Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) April 15, 2020

Warren held out throwing her support behind Biden even after fellow progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) endorsed him earlier this week.

Sanders made the surprise endorsement Monday during a livestream event with the former vice president, saying that it was vital to put aside policy and ideological differences and come together in a time of crisis.

In an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press , Sanders said it would be irresponsible for his followers not to support Biden. He warned that progressives who sit on their hands in the months ahead would help Trumps reelection.

After exiting the race in early March , Warren notably did not endorse either Biden or Sanders.

Her endorsement now, along with Sanders, marks another opportunity for Biden to bridge fissures in the Democratic Party and win over the support of progressives.

Many progressives have felt Biden hasnt done enough to move in their direction for example, by potentially demonstrating a willingness to consider their policy positions.

The whole process of coming together should be uncomfortable for everyone involved thats how you know its working, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told The New York Times . And if Biden is only doing things hes comfortable with, then its not enough.
