Trump has repeatedly referred to Warren as “Pocahontas”, referring to the senator’s past claims about her Native American heritage. “When Donald Trump says, ‘Let’s make American great again, ‘ that’s code for, ‘Let’s take America backward, ‘ back to a time when opportunity and dignity were reserved for some”.

Although some feel two women on the ticket will weaken chances of defeating Trump, a single-sex ticket is a common occurrence – just less contentious when both presidential and vice presidential nominees are men.

The Massachusetts Democrat further chastised the billionaire businessman “for using the megaphone of a presidential campaign to attack a judge’s character and integrity”.

“I am supporting the Republican brand. Pound the courts into submission to the rich and powerful”.

In an exclusive interview with Maddow on MSNBC, Warren was clear in her support of the Clinton camp – to make sure Trump does not get within “shouting distance of the White House”. Her office released excerpts in advance.

President Barack Obama’s endorsement of Clinton headlined a day of unity for Democrats Thursday as the party prepares for Republican Donald Trump. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter. A lawsuit accuses Trump and the for-profit school of defrauding thousands of people, including many who paid as much as $35,000 to learn Trump’s real estate strategies.

Johnson’s response is extreme in comparison to the rest of the party-but the sentiment has been expressed by a growing number of critical Republican voices. “Exactly the kind of candidate you’d expect from a Republican Party whose script for several years has been to execute a full-scale assault on the integrity of our courts”.

“Today, the percentage of women who finish college is six times what it was before birth control was legal”, Clinton said, as one woman yelled “That’s right!” from the audience.

On Wednesday, Warren stood up on the Senate floor to challenge McConnell over the issue and try to move nomination votes by unanimous consent, but he denied her request and disputed her arguments. “And we’re not going to keep quiet just because the Washington, D.C. power elites want us to”, the group says in its initial mission statement.
