An Elizabeth Warren presidential run in 2020 is already getting some buzz
On Twitter, at least.
In her speech Wednesday morning conceding the 2016 presidential race to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton noted the figurative glass ceiling would remain intact — for now.

“But someday, someone will, and hopefully sooner than we might think,” she said.
Soon, as in 2020? On social media, some looked to a certain Massachusetts senator who declined to run in 2016.
Dear Democrats, start preparing Elizabeth Warren for 2020, you can still shatter the glass ceiling. Thanks Hilary for the cracks.

In fact, a hypothetical 2020 presidential campaign for Sen. Elizabeth Warren had begun garnering buzz as Trump locked down the election night win late Tuesday night.

If Clinton loses, does @elizabethforma immediately become the big favorite for the party’s nomination in 2020?

Journalists also mused about Warren’s possible 2020 primary contenders.
A very early 2020 Democratic primary poll last month had the Massachusetts senator slightly head of Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and New Jersey Sen. Corey Booker, though the majority of voters were undecided.

Others, perhaps, got a little ahead of themselves in their anticipation.
Congratulations to Elizabeth Warren on making history by becoming the 46th president of the United States in 2020.

Apparently, it’s never too soon to start thinking about the next presidential election. Even if they’re not done counting the votes yet.
