Elizabeth Warren hedges on support for Biden staying in the race: He has a 'really big decision to make'

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., didn't offer a ringing endorsement to President Biden staying in the race on Saturday, repeatedly saying he's "our nominee" but he also had a "big decision to make."

Warren also seemed to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris being the replacement if Biden did step down, singing her praises as an ideal candidate to prosecute the Democratic case against former President Trump.

"Joe Biden is our nominee, and he has a really big decision to make. Joe Biden has been a transformational president," Warren told MSNBC, going on to praise his record. "I am deeply grateful to Joe Biden for all that he has accomplished."

In the face of mounting numbers of Democrats calling on him to step down for fear he'll lose to Trump, Biden has repeatedly insisted he is staying in the race. Yet Warren, sounding like reportedly skeptical former Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier this month, appeared to give Biden yet another off-ramp.

Warren repeated herself when asked if she'd heard the same as Ocasio-Cortez.

"Joe Biden is our nominee. As I said before, he has a really big decision to make," she said. "But what gives me a lot of hope right now is that if President Biden decides to step back, we have Vice President Kamala Harris who is ready to step up, to unite the party, to take on Donald Trump, and to win in November. Remember, 80 million people voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in
