0:00.0	So I announced this morning that I am suspending my campaign for president.
0:10.0	I will not be running for president in 2020, but I guarantee I will stay in the fight.
0:22.8	Hey everyone, I'm David Chalien, the CNN political director. This is the Daily D.C.
0:28.3	Breaking news as we're coming on recording this podcast, Elizabeth Warren, the senator from
0:32.9	Massachusetts, is suspending her presidential campaign. She is out of the 2020 race. And of course, now we await
0:40.2	word on whether or not she's going to endorse one of the two major candidates, Bernie Sanders or
0:45.2	Joe Biden. With me to discuss this breaking news and all the developments in the Biden Sanders race
0:50.2	that is now very well underway. I am joined by CNN's senior political analyst, Mark
0:55.2	Preston, and senior writer Zach Wolf. Mark, Zach, thank you for being here.

1:29.5	from Iowa, you know, placing third to placing fifth in South Carolina, then, of course, coming in
1:34.8	third in Massachusetts, in her own state, you know, just not good for her, David, as we all know.
1:40.3	You know, she could help Joe Biden out a lot. And she could help Bernie Sanders out a lot.
1:48.5	The question, though, for me is that, and you've been making this point all day on television,
1:54.6	which is a very important point. Even though Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are cut from the same liberal cloth,
1:59.9	their supporters are concentric
2:02.6	circles in that a lot of her supporters tend to be suburban white women, which are turned off
2:08.6	often by how Bernie Sanders presents himself. So if she were to go to Sanders, he would benefit from her trying to attract those women over to him.
