Warren highlights work with Obama, Harry Reid in new Nevada ad

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) highlighted her work with former President Barack Obama and former Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in a new ad airing in Nevada ahead of the state’s caucuses next week.

The 30-second clip that is airing across the Silver State starting Saturday and highlights praise from the two former leaders on Warren’s work on economic issues, including her time setting up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under the Obama administration.

The ad comes as the Massachusetts Democrat seeks to regain momentum in the primary race after third and fourth-place finishes in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, respectively. Warren in recent weeks has sought to characterize her candidacy as one that can unify progressives excited by her ideas with the moderate section of the party. Figures such as Obama and Reid are a possible nod to this effort.

Warren is polling in third place in Nevada, according to a new survey released this week, behind Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Vice President Joe Biden.
