Elizabeth Warren, the liberal Massachusetts senator whose policy-oriented pitch to remake Washington and boost the middle class caught fire in the fall of 2019, is ending her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination after a weak showing across a series of states over the past month, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Ms. Warren competed with Mr. Sanders for support from the Democratic Party's liberal wing, and her stronger performance with women and college-educated voters for a time indicated a potential to appeal to more moderate Democrats.
A series of prominent liberal lawmakers later endorsed the Vermont senator over Ms. Warren.
Ms. Warren's previous claims to Native American ancestry drew controversy from critics-prominently including Mr. Trump, who mocked her repeatedly as "Pocahontas." That dispute, including her decision to respond by releasing a DNA test in late 2018, hoping to settle the matter, shadowed her entry into the race.
A series of rollouts, including a vow in the spring of 2019 to cancel billions of dollars in student loan debt, helped Ms. Warren carve out a lane as the candidate with "a plan for that"-which became the mantra of her candidacy.
Ms. Warren will return to the Senate after exiting the presidential race.
