    NEW: I sat down with Elizabeth Warren in her kitchen this afternoon, for her first interview since exiting the presidential race. On Sanders and Biden: "I think I would have made a better president than either one of them, that’s why I was running!"

    When I spoke with @ewarren earlier today, she was defiant at the idea that she is obligated to support either Sanders or Biden. "Why would I owe anybody an endorsement?" she said. "Is that a question they asked everybody else who dropped out of this race?"

    .@ewarren said she will support the Democratic nominee "wholeheartedly," and called the plans she has left behind a "roadmap" for any Democrat (or Republican!) who wants it. "I have an even clearer sense now of the world we could build," she said.

    I asked @ewarren how running for president had changed her. "There’s just a hundred ways that I’m smarter and tougher now," she said.

    On the House floor, Jim Jordan just took his mask off one ear to cough, and then put it back on.

    Building out her ideas in so much detail - which was a hallmark of her campaign - is part of what makes the loss sting, @ewarren told me. "The pieces are far more real," she said. "It makes losing this chance to lead our government to make those changes far more painful."

    NEW: My interview with @ewarren in her kitchen today. She spoke candidly about what went wrong and her disappointment with not breaking a new barrier for women. “I’m disappointed," she said, "because I really thought we could do it.” bit.ly/2PPzc6y

    Tonight, Warren ticked off reasons to support Joe Biden: His bankruptcy plan, his student loan plan, his student loan plan, his economic plan... Left unsaid was that they were all hers first. bit.ly/3gdUe9d

    New! We spent 3 months investigating a kind of violence that has spiked in America: Cars ramming protests. It’s happened > 139 times since the murder of George Floyd. Less than half of drivers faced charges. And some states are protecting the drivers.
    Protesters have been injured or killed by car rammings, but justice is rare

    From my Warren interview: After she spent Wednesday making the decision to drop out, she did something she wouldn't have had much time for as a presidential candidate. She and Bruce started watching "The Irishman." (They did not finish it) bit.ly/2PPzc6y
