(Newser) – President Donald Trump says he'd "love to run against" Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who took the first major step toward launching a widely anticipated campaign for the presidency. Trump says in an interview with Fox News Channel's "All-American New Year" set to air Monday night that he hopes Warren is among the Democrats to run in 2020. Per the AP, he says, "We'll see how she does, I wish her well. I hope she does well. I'd love to run against her."
Trump has been lambasting Warren since his 2016 campaign, when he began derisively labeling her "Pocahontas" in a shot against her claims of Native American heritage. Trump says Warren "did very badly in proving that she was of Indian heritage," adding that her decision earlier this year to release a DNA analysis "didn't work out too well." The Massachusetts Democrat said Monday she's forming an exploratory committee for the 2020 campaign. She's the most prominent Democrat yet to make such a move. (Warren is likely to have some stiff competition in her bid for the nomination.)

Go, Liz! Wow, we could actually have our first woman President... (The only thing not going for her is she's not a "well known celebrity". That's how you get nominated. People don't want to do their homework. They want to be told what's what and who's who)
There's going to be a bigly bunch of people running in the next Presidential election. It is going to be very exciting times for America's people, and I would imagine other nations as well.
