It is a tougher battle in the 2016 Presidential Elections now that Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma) is potentially running against former U.S. Secretary of State and now Senator Hillary Clinton.
In an interview with People, Warren did not directly address her intent on the presidential run, but she mentioned that she was keen on advancing her position as a senator. Campaign manager Erica Sagrans said Warren's statement "leaves more wiggle room" for the public and her potential opponents.

If Warren is indeed considering running for the White House position, it is a bad news for Clinton who once lost in the 2008 campaign after an Iowa Liberal representative knocked off her votes.
According to pollster, J. Ann Selzer, the former first lady is facing seemingly disintegrating votes in Iowa with 49 percent of voters casting negative impressions. This is two notches higher than the 47 percent who thinks favorably of her as president.
Thirty percent of those who voted negatively tend to bend towards the "very unfavorable" category. But Clinton does not top Iowa's most unwanted politicians for this year.
Sarah Palin and President Obama received 39 percent and 38 percent respectively from the total number of unconvinced respondents.
Warren's potential presidential career poses threats to Clinton's ambition especially that the Massachusetts's representative is knowledgeable on the former first lady's US$200,000 business case with the Democratic Party.
Clinton, who is known to talk less on debates, has endured criticism on using her gender as an excuse for lack of political will, Warren added. Moreover, liberal communities also mocked Clinton for pretending to blend in with the regular American citizens despite a US$600,000 salary and a $10 million apartment.
With Clinton and Warren both a significant side-by-side opponents, the Democratic Party is certain to put up a highly-competitive race. Critics said the event could turn out to be a massive campaign practice for Clinton, where she can actually present solid platforms in light of winning the race.
