Elizabeth Warren was the latest Democratic presidential candidate with a guest slot on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, sitting down with the daytime host for her Super Tuesday episode.
With Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar dropping out of the race to endorse candidate Joe Biden, Warren is now the third-place candidate behind Biden and Bernie Sanders.
Ellen asked Warren whether the results of Super Tuesday will determine if she’ll stay in the race. The senator from Massachusetts described the race as “the fight of my life,” and compared it to her own mother’s determination to save their home when she was a child in Oklahoma. After Warren’s father had a heart attack, her mother was forced to take a job outside the home for the first time in her life.
“She put on that dress, walked to the Sears and got a full-time minimum wage job answering the phones,” she recalled. “And it’s the first lesson I feel like my mother taught me, and that is, no matter how hard it looks, no matter how scared you are, you get out there and you fight for your family, you fight for the people you love. And that’s why I’m in this race.”
