“Today” host Matt Lauer reminded Warren about the support generated for her when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, (R-Kentucky), admonished her on the floor of the Senate during a debate on Sen. Jeff Sessions’ nomination as attorney general.
“Sen. Warren was giving a lengthy speech. She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted," McConnell said during the February Senate session.
The phrase, “She persisted,” quickly became bumper sticker fodder.
Warren's book "This Fight is Our Fight: The Battle to Save America's Middle Class," is set for release Tuesday. The director of the conservative group America Rising says the group views her book launch "as the soft launch of her presidential campaign."
