Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) told reporters in Charlotte Thursday that he will explain why he is supporting Elizabeth Warren’s Senate bid against Sen. Scott Brown in the coming days, the Boston Globe reports.
“What I want to do is first explain why I’m supporting Elizabeth, and I will do that somewhere in the next few days, and then we will go into the differentials and other pieces of it. But there’s plenty of time for that,” said Kerry.
Speaking to Democrats in Charlotte, Kerry argued that Democrats need Warren to hold their Senate majority:
“We have an opportunity to elect an outstanding U.S. senator who can be part of the team,” Kerry said as his audience of fellow Democrats cheered him. “I want to stay as chairman of the (Senate Foreign Relations) committee, not back to ranking member. I want Harry Reid there, ready to fight as majority leader. We need Elizabeth Warren. Get the job done.”
