Hillary Clinton praises Sen. Elizabeth Warren as 'progressive champion' in Time 100 write-up


On Thursday, Time released its list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along with ranking the world's top titans, pioneers, artists, leaders, and icons, Time got famous people to write about the honored subjects — so you can read what Elon Musk has to say about Kanye West ("Kanye West would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list"), Martha Stewart's thoughts on West's wife, Kim Kardashian, and what President Obama thinks about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Hillary Clinton — whose own entry in the Time 100 was penned by Laurene Powell Jobs, founder of Emerson Collective and wife of late Apple CEO Steve Jobs — wrote about Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a potential challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton calls Warren a "progressive champion," anointing her with the mantle of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and crowning her "champion of working families and scourge of special interests." Clinton even had a little fun with their potential rivalry:
Elizabeth Warren never lets us forget that the work of taming Wall Street's irresponsible risk taking and reforming our financial system is far from finished. And she never hesitates to hold powerful people's feet to the fire: bankers, lobbyists, senior government officials, and, yes, even presidential aspirants. [Clinton, in Time]
