JUST IN: Elizabeth Warren is dropping out of the presidential race, a source familiar with her plans tells CNN, following another round of disappointing finishes in primary contests across the country on Super Tuesday.
The Massachusetts senator, who centered her bid on a promise to wipe out corruption in Washington, announced her decision on a staff call Thursday morning. "I wanted you all to hear it first, and I wanted you to hear it straight from me: Today, I'm suspending our campaign for president," Warren said, according to a person on the call. She continued,"I know that when we set out, this was not the call you ever wanted to hear. It is not the call I ever wanted to make.
" In October 2018, Warren released results of a DNA test showing she has distant Native American ancestry. The DNA results claimed"strong evidence" of Native American ancestry"6-10 generations ago." But it only served to intensify the criticism given her distant ties.Hide Caption 29 of 41 Photos: In photos: Presidential candidate Elizabeth WarrenWarren runs down Boston's Clarendon Street waving to crowds during the annual Boston Pride Parade in June 2018.
