In an interview on "Morning Joe" Wednesday Warren was pressed for her thoughts on the idea Clinton hasn't focused on advocating for the middle class against major financial interests. Warren said people "need to see" what Clinton plans to do. She also stressed she's not just pushing Clinton on issues like regulating banks and decreasing interest rates on student loans and wants "everybody" in politics to take up these causes.
