Expect to see a lot more of Elizabeth Warren over the next two years.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the inescapable conclusion after the Massachusetts senator was presented by soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) as the Democratic leadership\u2019s envoy to liberal groups<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be interesting to see what Warren, popular with the party’s liberal base and thought to be considering a 2016 presidential campaign, will do with this newly created institutional perch. Some on the left fret that she\u2019ll be coopted by the Democratic establishment and tone down her rhetoric in hopes of broadening her appeal.<\/p>\n
