- Sen. Elizabeth Warren is facing pressure to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders, her ally in the progressive wing of the party, after exiting the 2020 Democratic primary last week.
- On Tuesday afternoon, about 30 former Warren staffers formally endorsed Sanders.
- But political operatives say Warren's decision not to throw her support behind Sanders is either a sign she believes his bid is doomed or it illustrates the lack of faith she has in his movement.
- "All it says is he's about to get the shit kicked out of him," one Democratic strategist told Insider. "If she thought that there was a path, she would endorse him."
- Shortly after Warren dropped out of the race last week, she pointedly called out the "organized nastiness" among Sanders' online supporters. She blamed Sanders for not stepping in to stop it.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren's decision not to endorse either Sen. Bernie Sanders or former Vice President Joe Biden after dropping out of the Democratic primary last week has drawn some attention to Warren's strategy and motivations in the 2020 race.
Warren faced unusual pressure to throw her support behind a candidate after both former Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden shortly before Super Tuesday.
