Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) cracked the door to a potential White House bid in an interview with People, offering a more nuanced answer than she has in the past when asked for the umpteenth time whether she plans to run in 2016.

"I don't think so," she said when asked if she was "on board" with fan-driven efforts to convince her to run. But, she added: "If there's any lesson I've learned in the last five years, it's don't be so sure about what lies ahead. There are amazing doors that could open."

It's a notable shift from Warren's previous declarations that she won't run for president. In June, she unequivocally told The Boston Globe, "I am not running for president. Do you want to put an exclamation point at the end of that?"
