Elizabeth Warren Just Ended Her Presidential Campaign
After announcing her decision to leave the White House race, #ThankYouElizabeth and "with Warren" began trending on Twitter.
Following a disappointing showing on Super Tuesday, Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren ended her campaign for president on Thursday, leaving two straight white men (and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard) in the running for the Democratic nomination.
\u201cOur work continues, the fight goes on, and big dreams never die. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. https://t.co/28kyKe777L\u201d— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1583428145
While Vermont senator Bernie Sanders appeared to capture a majority of LGBTQ+ votes on Tuesday, Warren was a progressive favorite of many. After announcing her decision to leave the race, #ThankYouElizabeth and "with Warren" began trending on Twitter. Many queer notables expressed disappointment on the platform that another qualified woman—a powerful debater and policy expert—would be denied the Oval Office.

\u201cSenator @ewarren has made fighting on behalf of working families her life's work. Meeting urgency with moral courage, she\u2019s the kind of leader Americans are fortunate to have, and I\u2019m honored to have run alongside her.\u201d— Pete Buttigieg (@Pete Buttigieg) 1583427571
\u201c.@ewarren is a fierce advocate for justice who has put LGBTQ equality front & center in her campaign. Forever grateful for her allyship, her advocacy, and her leadership. https://t.co/IeVBcHex46\u201d— Alphonso David (@Alphonso David) 1583425367
\u201cThe Warren campaign often asked: what can we do to make trans lives better in the states during these legislative attacks?There was no campaign reason or benefit and no real connection to executive power. But it mattered a lot. So thank you, @ewarren & everyone in your campaign.\u201d— Chase Strangio (@Chase Strangio) 1583429734
\u201cAs the first Trans person to run for state office in California; I know what it\u2019s like to make difficult decisions that are much more complex than meets the eye. Despite the outcome, Elizabeth Warren has inspired myself and women all across America,and yes\u2014I\u2019m #StillWithWarren\u201d— Ashlee Marie Preston (@Ashlee Marie Preston) 1583364249
\u201cElizabeth Warren led with kindness, passion, preparedness, wit, integrity, and an open mind. There wasn't a more qualified person for president in this field, and I am not alone when I say she and her vision for America inspired me in a way in a way no candidate has before.\u201d— Sam Stryker (@Sam Stryker) 1583429637
