Warren was asked about a ruling from the International Court of Justice that found it was “plausible” Israel has committed acts of genocide in Gaza, and about her own opinion on the matter. A spokesperson for Warren said in a statement to POLITICO Monday that the senator “commented on the ongoing legal process at the International Court of Justice, not sharing her views on whether genocide is occurring in Gaza.”

Warren has faced pressure from her left flank since the start of the crisis in Gaza. The progressive senator initially voiced full-throated support for Israel in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. But as international criticism built over Israel’s military response, far-left groups began protesting outside of her offices and Cambridge home, calling on her to advocate for a lasting cease-fire in Gaza and to stop further U.S. military aid to Israel.

    Winning Iowa isn’t a great predictor. Biden blew out South Carolina and created a rallying point for Super Tuesday where most voters just wanted a moderate who would compete well in the general.

    I’m not at all convinced any other nom would have defeated Trump.

      No, a bunch of candidates claimed to be really progressive on just a few issues, got support for that, then endorsed Biden and told their supporters Biden would be just as progressive.

      Super Tuesday was like days away, so lots of people voted Biden without realizing they were being lied to.

      This isn’t ancient history, it’s readily accessible even if you’ve forgotten

        No […] you’ve forgotten

        “No” what?

        Biden won SC by nearly 30 points (the last primary before Super Tuesday) and proceeded to win 2/3rds of the Super Tuesday contests.

        Most Democrats didn’t want “really progressive”. They wanted someone who was middle of the road and would be able to beat Trump.
