(AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File) The New York Times reported on Thursday that Sen. Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, had raised $20 million for her 2018 campaign.
The newspaper said Warren and her allies were pushing her to continue to use her wealth to support her political ambitions.
Warren’s spokeswoman, Amanda Seidel, said that Warren and other Democrats have not given up on running for office.
“Elizabeth Warren is going to continue the fight for economic justice, and that means she will continue to advocate for an economic safety net that will make life better for all of us,” Seidel said.
The Wall Street Journal also reported Thursday that Warren has raised about $16 million for 2018.
The group has spent $1.6 million in the first three months of the year.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D, West Virginia, has said he plans to raise money for his 2018 campaign, as has Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-, North Dakota.
“We’re not done yet,” Manchin said in an interview Thursday with MSNBC.
“The stakes are too high.”
In February, Manchin told Politico he was “actively” considering a run for Senate in 2020.
Warren also announced her support for a Democratic Senate candidate in North Dakota in January.
