Elizabeth Warren insisted Saturday that she was not running for the White House in 2020, but the Massachusetts Democrat repeatedly dodged on whether she would serve her full six-year term if she wins re-election to the Senate this November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am in this fight to retain my Senate seat in 2018. That&#8217;s where I&#8217;m focused,&#8221; Warren told NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; host Chuck Todd, in an interview scheduled to air in full on Sunday. &#8220;That&#8217;s where I&#8217;m going to stay focused. I&#8217;m not running for president.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked repeatedly if she would serve a full six-year term if re-elected, Warren said she was not running for president and would fight &#8220;for the people of Massachusetts, and for the people across this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Bear in mind that, if Warren were to say now that she will run for President in 2020, she would likely lose her Senate seat in 2018.
