WASHINGTON _ Her fierce indictments of Wall Street electrify Democrats across the country. Her unapologetically progressive brand and fiery style match the mood of her party's liberal base. She is locking down top political talent and has the beginnings of a formidable campaign organization.
But according to interviews with two dozen senior Democratic strategists, activists and early-voting-state officials, Elizabeth Warren still faces one major challenge: convincing Democrats that she can defeat President Donald Trump.
"She is classified as a far-left liberal," said South Carolina state Sen. Marlon Kimpson, who said he does not share that view. "And again, we're looking for someone who has a strategy for the Electoral College board. And it just seems that she has some work to do in that area."
