Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) gave less than full-throated support to Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday, days ahead of Clinton&#8217;s expected entry into the 2016 presidential race that some Democrats to Clinton&#8217;s left want Warren to also join.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether Clinton is the &quot;future of the Democratic Party,&quot; the Massachusetts senator hedged.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Well, I think we have to see, first of all, if she declares, and what she says she wants to run on,&quot; Warren <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs.com\/shows\/cbs_this_morning\/video\/9_6YwxKJBr86pddpneTsxSOuj17JSiGg\/elizabeth-warren-tsarnaev-should-die-in-prison-\/\" target=\"_blank\">said on CBS This Morning<\/a>. &quot;I think that&#8217;s really the interesting question at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That sounds far short of an endorsement from the political figure who has emerged as the darling of the Democrats&#8217; progressive wing. Warren has repeatedly said she will not run in 2016, and has made no clear moves toward a reconsideration of that stance.
