Elizabeth Warren got a poor result in the primary that questions her future in the presidential campaign

The congresswoman seemed determined to stay in the race, at least for now. Speaking to his followers in Detroit, he introduced himself as "the woman who is going to defeat Donald Trump"

The future of Senator Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign was in serious doubt after finishing in a weak third position in the Democratic primary in her state, Massachusetts , on Tuesday.

The disappointing result in the state it represents and a clearly unfavorable performance in other Super Tuesday elections - it had built an impressive campaign infrastructure in much of the country - meant a surprising collapse for the favorite of the progressives, known for having a plan for almost everything.

In addition to the mediocre results on the first four dates of the primaries, where he could never finish above the third position, Warren was well behind in the delegate count. Tuesday's results could accelerate his departure from the race for the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States.

In Massachusetts, Warren ended up behind former Vice President Joe Biden, who won the primary in the state, and Vermont Senator, also progressive Bernie Sanders, who last weekend brought together more than 10,000 people at a rally in Boston Common, a few kilometers (miles) from Warren's house near Harvard University.

Warren seemed determined to stay in the race, at least for now. Speaking to his followers in Detroit before the first of next week in Michigan, he introduced himself as "the woman who is going to defeat Donald Trump." The senator encouraged her followers to disregard the results and vote for the person they believe will make better use of the presidency, saying: "The prediction has been a horrible thing and the experts have been wrong again and again."

“ You don't get what you don't fight for. I'm in the fight, ”he added.

Warren's campaign presented all the early signs of success - robust numbers in the polls, an impressive fundraiser and a nationwide organization - but it was cornered by Sanders, who has an immovable fan base among the progressives That she has to convince. Before the Super Tuesday, Warren's team said they were betting on a contested Democratic Convention and she seemed willing to arrive at the meeting with a notable disadvantage in delegate counting.

His results in the primary threatened to get his last great contender out of the race. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar retires on Monday, along with Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, to support Biden's reborn candidacy. This was an unexpected turn in a party that used women's votes and energy to regain control of the House of Representatives, primarily with candidates, just two years ago .

Warren's campaign began with the enormous promise that he could maintain that momentum in the race for the White House. Last summer, he gathered tens of thousands of supporters in Washington Square Park, Manhattan, a scene that was repeated in places like the state of Washington and Minnesota.

Warren, 70, seemed right in raising the idea that the more moderate Democratic candidates, including Biden, were not ambitious enough to overturn Trump's policies and depended too much on political advisors and the variable polls.

But Warren has not been able to consolidate the support of the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party against the other progressive in the contest, Sanders. Both support universal government-sponsored medical care, free university tuition and an aggressive fight against climate change, and renounce large fundraising acts in favor of small donations through the internet.
