Overview
- In a National Press Club address, Sen. Elizabeth Warren urged Democrats to adopt full‑throated economic populism and warned the party is doomed if it prioritizes wealthy donors over working people.
- She called for simple, repeated proposals to lower costs, telling reporters Democrats must "read the room" and emulate President Trump's relentless focus on affordability messaging.
- Warren named Reid Hoffman as an example of donor influence and criticized Kyrsten Sinema's past opposition to progressive measures, while faulting the DSCC for favoring a "nibble‑around‑the‑edges" approach; the DSCC said its goal is winning a Senate majority.
- She said she donated $400,000 to 23 state Democratic parties and is intervening in primaries, including endorsing Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan over Rep. Angie Craig for an open Senate seat.
- After the speech, Warren said she spoke by phone with President Trump to press him on lowering costs, as centrists such as Third Way pushed back and the party's strategy debate continued.
