Warren says she’ll beat Trump ‘or Pence or whoever the Republicans get stuck with’

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), a top-tier Democratic presidential candidate, says she’d beat any GOP candidate in the 2020 general election. 

“I will outwork, outorganize, and outlast anyone else and that includes Donald Trump, [Vice President] Mike Pence, or whoever the Republicans get stuck with,” Warren said Tuesday at a 2020 primary debate in Ohio, drawing laughs from the crowd. 

The response came as Warren defended her candidacy amid a question about her age. {mosads}

If elected, Warren at 71 would be the oldest president to enter a first term in office. President Trump, now 73, entered office at 70, becoming the oldest president at the time. 

Warren is not the oldest candidate in the race. Sen Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the oldest in the field at 78, followed by former Vice President Joe Biden at 76. 

Sanders, who recently had a heart attack, and Biden were also questioned about their age. 

Fellow Democratic primary candidates Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, 38, and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, 37, would be the youngest U.S. president if elected.
