The campaign to draft Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to run for president in 2016 announced on Tuesday that it will suspend the effort next week.
The Run Warren Run campaign, organized by MoveOn.org and Democracy for America, will deliver a petition with more than 365,000 signatures to Warren urging her to run before shutting down the campaign. Warren has repeatedly said that she will not run for president in 2016.
Once their campaign to draft Warren is suspended, the groups will work with Warren on issues like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade agreement that the senator has staunchly opposed, according to a press release from the campaign.
Though the campaign did not convince Warren to launch a presidential bid, Charles Chamberlain, the executive director of Democracy for America, said in a statement that the campaign still influenced the 2016 election.
“Even without her in the race, Elizabeth Warren and the Run Warren Run campaign she inspired have already transformed the 2016 presidential election by focusing every single Democratic candidate on combatting our country’s income inequality crisis,” he said in a statement announcing the suspension of the campaign.
