Elizabeth Warren speaks on final night of DNC convention

Sen. Elizabeth Warren spoke following a long, loud ovation on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, throwing her support behind Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Warren went up against Harris in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, but dropped out after Super Tuesday. From Massachusetts, Warren is known for being a policy wonk who wants to tackle money and corruption in politics.

In her convention speech, Warren praised Harris’ record and promise to take on corporations to protect consumers. She also took jabs at the Republican opponents.

“Trust Donald Trump and JD Vance to look out for your family? Shoot, I wouldn’t let these guys, I wouldn’t trust them to move my couch,” Warren quipped.
