I am running for the Senate in 2018,” Warren told reporters during an appearance at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. “We now have 74 more days until the election. I am taking nothing for granted. I have just done 34 town halls. I’m all across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,” she continued as she replied to a question from a reporter. ADVERTISEMENT Warren is largely seen as considering a run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, in what is expected to be a crowded field that could potential include party heavyweights such as former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenHillicon Valley: Biden calls on Facebook to change political speech rules | Dems demand hearings after Georgia election chaos | Microsoft stops selling facial recognition tech to police Trump finalizing executive order calling on police to use ‘force with compassion’ The Hill’s Campaign Report: Biden campaign goes on offensive against Facebook MORE, Sen.

And that’s true in Massachusetts — it’s true all across this country. Control of the House and the Senate, who is going to represent us for the next two years, is powerfully important. So I’m focused on 2018 and I’m going to stay focused on 2018.” Warren is widely expected to win her Senate race in November. The senator leads comfortably in the last several polls taken, including a June WBUR/Mass Inc. poll that showed her beating likely Republican candidate Beth Lindstrom, 55 percent to 19 percent.
