Warren carves out a big role in a moment of crisis. Will that include a vice presidential nod? [View all]

WASHINGTON — Dropping out of the presidential race has not stopped Senator Elizabeth Warren from making the case practically daily that her ideas meet the moment — and her allies are hoping those ideas can shape a race for the White House that might still include her.

She has released a hailstorm of plans and legislation related to the coronavirus pandemic. She and her team have been in touch with presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who spoke warmly about one of their conversations on Thursday. She has also spoken with former president Barack Obama recently, according to a person familiar with the interaction.

Now, Warren’s endorsement of Biden this week has fueled speculation that the Massachusetts Democrat is a serious contender for the party’s vice presidential nomination — an offer she said this week she would accept.

“Any decision is up to vice president Biden,” Warren said in an interview with the Globe. “I am 100 percent committed to trying to help our country manage this crisis and begin to rebuild the economy in a way that works for everyone. I’m going to do that no matter what.”
