Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said she’s not worried if she doesn’t place in the top two in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, declaring she’s in the race for the long haul.
In an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” Warren, who came in third in the Iowa caucuses, said she was unconcerned by the fact no candidate has ever won the nomination without placing in the top two in Iowa or New Hampshire.
“Look, the way I see this is it’s going to be a long campaign,” she said.
“When I made the decision not to spend 70% of my time raising money from billionaires and corporate executive and lobbyists, it meant I had a lot more time to go around the country,” she said.
“I've been to 31 states to do town halls, red states and blue states. We have about 1,000 people on the ground. We built a campaign to go the distance and that's what I think is going to happen.”
Warren also argued big donors’ political influence is why things “don’t get done” in Washington and derided efforts by rival Pete Buttigieg to attract their support.
“Billionaires — they may own more shoes than the rest of us, they own more cars, they may own more houses — but they shouldn’t own a bigger piece of our democracy,” she said, adding: “The coalition of billionaires is not exactly what’s going to carry us over the top.”
Warren defended her fight for the White House — and her chances for beating President Donald Trump.
“People say, oh these races are unwinnable or that person can’t win, right up until you jump in the fight, you persist and you win,” she said. “That’s what I’m going to do.”
