Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren dodged questions on Monday about her biggest political liabilities as she jumped headfirst into the 2020 Democratic presidential primary process
But President Donald Trump signaled he intends to keep pounding his rival, telling Fox News in an interview when asked whether she could win: 'You'd have to ask her psychiatrist
'In announcing the formation of a presidential exploratory committee, Warren staked out the first significant territory in what will likely be a crowded field of Democrats itching for a swing at Donald Trump
But she showed no sign she's ready to overcome the self-inflected scandal that has dogged her for years: her questionable claim of American Indian ancestry
The result was an unsteady performance that none of the three major cable news networks broadcast live from beginning to end
Asked in her first question as a candidate-in-waiting how she will respond to Democrats who worry that her slow-motion ancestry gaffe had left her too vulnerable to be electable, Warren defaulted to talking points
'I'm in this fight because I understand what's happening to working families,' she said outside her home near Boston, standing alongside her husband Bruce Mann
President Donald Trump has long been critical of Warren for claiming to have Cherokee ancestry, a move the president claims gave her preferential treatment in university hiring at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania
He brought up the issue in an interview with Fox News to be broadcast New Years' Eve
'Elizabeth Warren will be the first,' Trump told the network. 'She did very badly in proving that she was of Indian heritage
That didn't work out too well. I think you have more than she does, and maybe I do too and I have nothing,' the president told interviewers Pete Hegseth and Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery
'So, we'll see how she does, I wish her well, I hope she does well, I'd love to run against her,' Trump said
Asked whether Warren could win, Trump responded: 'Well, that I don't know, you'd have to ask her psychiatrist
'Warren conceded this month that she is 'not a person of color,' following her embarrassing October release of DNA test data that concluded her proportion of American Indian blood might be as small as 1 part in 1,024 – lower than average European-Americans
She sidestepped a separate question on Monday about whether her far-left brand of populism will polarize American voters, denying her meaningful support outside the liberal northeast U
S. and California.Instead she acknowledged only that CEOs and investment bankers won't like her
'The problem we've got right now in Washington is that it works great for those who have money, to buy influence,' said Warren, 69
'And I'm fighting against that, and you bet it's going to make a lot of people unhappy
'The 69-year-old Democrat would not, however, rule out accepting help from super PACs built with their political contributions
'Would you take support from super PACs,' a reporter asked. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 2 Next 'Putin wants a hostage for leverage': Kremlin foe Bill

'That fell short of a pledge to shun their help as she runs for the White House. 'I've already received donations from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico,' she boasted, before revealing that she would spend New Year's Eve with her husband doing what they always do: watching the 1942 film 'Casablanca
'Trump aides licked their chops and laughed as they anticipated a battle between the president and the ultra-liberal swashbuckler he regularly mocks as 'Pocahontas
'A Trump administration official with knowledge of the president's thinking said Monday that Warren 'will go down in flames,' and cracked a subtle Native American joke
'She's going to somehow ride her far-left platform into the White House?' the official asked
'How?''It's a dream come true,' said a second official, adding a fond hope that Connecticut Sen
Richard Blumenthal would follow Warren into the race.'Can we get Blumenthal to run too? More phony Democrats, please,' said that official
Trump has similarly weaponized Blumenthal's past missteps, turning his military career into a case of stolen valor because he has falsely claimed to have fought in Vietnam
Blumenthal served in uniform as a U.S. Marine reservist for six years but spent the war thousands of miles from harm's way
Warren's New Year's Eve launch guaranteed she had the nation's political spotlight largely to herself
'America's middle class is under attack," the 69-year-old Massachusetts Democrat said in a launch video
'How did we get here? Billionaires and big corporations decided they wanted more of the pie
And they enlisted politicians to cut them a bigger slice.' She tried to strike a uniting tone, declaring that 'no matter what our differences, most of us want the same thing: 'to be able to work hard, play by the same set of rules and take care of the people we love
That's what I'm fighting for.' The Republican National Committee blasted out a scathing reply
Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said that Warren 'couldn't be more out of touch. With her lack of support from voters – including in her home state – on top of her phony claim to minority status, now that she is formally running Americans will see her for what she is: another extreme far-left obstructionist and a total fraud
' Warren burst onto the national scene a decade ago during the financial crisis with calls for greater consumer protections
She quickly became one of the party's more prominent liberals even as she sometimes fought with Obama administration officials over their response to the market turmoil
Now, as a likely presidential contender, she is making an appeal to the party's base
Her video notes the economic challenges facing people of color along with images of a women's march and Warren's participation at an LGBT event
In an email to supporters, Warren said she'd more formally announce a campaign plan early in 2019
Warren is the most prominent Democrat yet to make a move toward a presidential bid and has long been a favorite target of President Donald Trump
In mid-December, former Obama housing chief Julian Castro also announced a presidential exploratory committee, which legally allows potential candidates to begin raising money
Outgoing Maryland Rep. John Delaney is the only Democrat so far to have formally announced a presidential campaign
But that's likely to change quickly in the new year as other leading Democrats take steps toward White House runs
Warren enters a Democratic field that's shaping up as the most crowded in decades, with many of her Senate colleagues openly weighing their own campaigns, as well as governors, mayors and other prominent citizens
One of her most significant competitors could be Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who is eyeing another presidential run harnessing the same populist rhetoric
She must also move past the widely panned October DNA test stunt meant to bolster her claim to Native American heritage
Instead, the use of a genetic test to prove her ethnicity emboldened Trump's taunts of her as 'Pocahontas
' There was no direct mention of the controversy, or of Trump, in Monday's video. It did include images of the president and his inner-circle current and former aides who her base most loves to hate: Kellyanne Conway, Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon
Warren has the benefit of higher name recognition than many others in the Democratic mix for 2020, thanks to her years as a prominent critic of Wall Street who originally conceived of what became the government's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
She now faces an arduous battle to raise money and capture Democratic primary voters' attention before Iowa casts its first vote in more than a year
She has an advantage in the $12.5 million left over from her 2018 re-election campaign that she could use for a presidential run
Warren's campaign is likely to revolve around the same theme she's woven into speeches and policy proposals in recent years: battling special interests, paying mind to the nexus between racial and economic inequities
'America's middle class is under attack,' Warren said in the video. 'How did we get here? Billionaires and big corporations decided they wanted more of the pie
