Onstage at the Rochester Opera House, Warren was singing the same old song. It was Monday, the eve of the primary that will determine the fate of her campaign, but at her GOTV rally, there was little talk of getting out the vote and even less rallying. Warren hardly spoke of getting out to vote at all, and when she did, it was like an afterthought.
Asked about the state of her campaign, Warren is quick to lean into her persistence persona. Earlier Monday, she told reporters that the race wasn’t a foregone conclusion. “The best evidence of that is how good the predictions have been over the last year,” she said. “Who was supposed to still be in this race today? And who wasn’t? I think I wasn’t. And a lot of people who were supposed to have locked it up by this point are not here.
On the record, onstage, Warren is a disciplined speaker. You catch glimpses of her ability to be sharp and funny, as when on Sunday night in Lebanon, a man asked her if she ever whispers in Bailey’s ear and asks, “Who’s gonna be my Mike Pence?” and Warren replied, dryly, “I already have a dog.
