Democratic Candidate and Senator Elizabeth Warren has won a third six-year term in the U.S. Senate in the U.S. presidential elections. Elizabeth, who hails from Massachusetts, and is otherwise known for her harsh stance against cryptocurrencies, has once again solidified her position as a prominent progressive advocate in the state and Capitol Hill.
Republican John Deaton, a lawyer who relocated to the state from Rhode Island earlier this year, attempted to challenge Warren but was unsuccessful. Deaton attempted to make the former Harvard Law School professor seem disconnected from the average Bay State citizen.
Warren portrayed herself as a supporter of the struggling middle class and an opponent of laws that favored the rich. Despite finishing third in Massachusetts in her 2020 presidential campaign, she has maintained her popularity.
