Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is taking a wait-and-see approach to whether Hillary Clinton will champion progressive issues during her campaign.
Warren was asked by MSNBC's Rev. Al Sharpton on Tuesday whether she thought Clinton would be a "progressive warrior." Here's the exchange:
Sharpton: A lot of progressives have questions about whether she'll be a progressive warrior. What would you say to them?
Warren: Ya know, I think that's what we've got to see. I want to hear what she wants to run on and what she says she wants to do—that's what campaigns are supposed to be about.

reportedly met with Clinton in December at Clinton's request.
Warren's comments came on the same day that Clinton made news by telling an adoring crowd of women in Silicon Valley, "There is a special spot in hell for women who don't help other women."
Before a rapturous audience of women, Clinton repeatedly called on the predominantly male tech industry to work harder to keep interested girls and women involved in the computer, science and technology fields.
Clinton's early and unabashed pro-woman message marks a departure from her 2008 campaign when she initially played down the historic nature of her candidacy.
