Warren lived in Norman, Oklahoma, until she was 11 years old, when her family moved back to Oklahoma City. When she was 12, her father, then a salesman at Montgomery Ward, had a heart attack, which led to many medical bills as well as a pay cut because he could not do his previous work. After leaving his sales job, he worked as a maintenance man for an apartment building. Eventually, the family's car was repossessed because they failed to make loan payments. To help the family finances, her mother found work in the catalog-order department at Sears. When she was 13, Warren started waiting tables at her aunt's restaurant.{{cite news |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2011/11/elizabeth-warren-201111 |title=The Woman Who Knew Too Much |last=Andrews |first=Suzanna |date=November 2011 |work=Vanity Fair |access-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-date=November 16, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191116053627/https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2011/11/elizabeth-warren-201111 |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=https://www.huffpost.com/author/elizabeth-warren |title=Elizabeth Warren |website=The Huffington Post |access-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-date=August 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190811145232/https://www.huffpost.com/author/elizabeth-warren |url-status=live }}

Warren became a star member of the debate team at Northwest Classen High School and won the state high school debating championship. She also won a debate scholarship to George Washington University (GWU) at the age of 16. She initially aspired to be a teacher, but left GWU after two years in 1968 to marry James Robert "Jim" Warren, whom she had met in high school.{{cite news |title=Warren Winning Means No Sale If You Can't Explain It |first1=Mark |last1=Pittman |first2=Bob |last2=Ivry |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&pos=10&sid=a.DEiDrOr.ms |date=November 19, 2009 |work=Bloomberg |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017234601/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&pos=10&sid=a.DEiDrOr.ms |archive-date=October 17, 2015 }}

The Warrens moved to New Jersey when Jim received a job transfer. She soon became pregnant and decided to stay at home to care for their daughter, Amelia.{{cite web |url=http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people7/Warren/warren-con0.html |title=Conversation with Elizabeth Warren |work=Conversations with History |publisher=Institute of International Studies, University of California, Berkeley |date=March 8, 2007 |last=Kreisler |first=Harry |access-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-date=December 12, 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121212005610/http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people7/Warren/warren-con0.html |url-status=live }} After Amelia turned two, Warren enrolled at Rutgers Law School. She received her Juris Doctor in 1976 and passed the bar examination shortly thereafter. Shortly before graduating, Warren became pregnant with their second child, Alexander.

In 1970, after obtaining a degree in speech pathology and audiology, but before enrolling in law school, Warren taught children with disabilities for a year in a public school.{{cite web|url=https://www.biography.com/political-figure/elizabeth-warren|title=Elizabeth Warren biography|website=The Biography Channel|access-date=September 19, 2012|archive-date=April 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419192957/https://www.biography.com/political-figure/elizabeth-warren|url-status=live}} During law school, she worked as a summer associate at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. After receiving her Juris Doctor and passing the bar examination, Warren offered legal services from home, writing wills and doing real estate closings.

In the late 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, Warren taught law at several American universities while researching issues related to bankruptcy and middle-class personal finance. She became involved with public work in bankruptcy regulation and consumer protection in the mid-1990s.

Warren began her career in academia as a lecturer at Rutgers University, Newark School of Law (1977–1978). She then moved to the University of Houston Law Center (1978–1983), where she became an associate dean in 1980 and obtained tenure in 1981. She taught at the University of Texas School of Law as visiting associate professor in 1981 and returned as a full professor two years later (staying from 1983 to 1987). She was a research associate at the Population Research Center of the University of Texas at Austin from 1983 to 1987{{cite web |url=http://www.law.harvard.edu/faculty/ewarren/Warren%20CV%20062508.pdf |title=Curriculum Vitae |last=Warren |first=Elizabeth |publisher=Harvard Law School |year=2008 |access-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-date=April 18, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160418053208/http://www.law.harvard.edu/faculty/ewarren/Warren%20CV%20062508.pdf |url-status=live }} and was also a visiting professor at the University of Michigan in 1985.

Warren's earliest academic work was heavily influenced by the law and economics movement, which aimed to apply neoclassical economic theory to the study of law with an emphasis on economic efficiency. One of her articles, published in 1980 in the Notre Dame Law Review, argued that public utilities were over-regulated and that automatic utility rate increases should be instituted. But Warren soon became a proponent of on-the-ground research into how people respond to laws. Her work analyzing court records and interviewing judges, lawyers, and debtors, established her as a rising star in the field of bankruptcy law.{{cite news |last1=Neyfakh |first1=Leon |title=Elizabeth Warren's unorthodox career |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2011/10/22/elizabeth-warren-unorthodox-career/3AFEDVW9B40rgbF1bhBXoM/story.html |newspaper=The Boston Globe |access-date=February 22, 2015 |date=October 22, 2011 |archive-date=February 22, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150222030246/http://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2011/10/22/elizabeth-warren-unorthodox-career/3AFEDVW9B40rgbF1bhBXoM/story.html |url-status=live }} According to Warren and economists who follow her work, one of her key insights was that rising bankruptcy rates were caused not by profligate consumer spending but by middle-class families' attempts to buy homes in good school districts.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/opinion/elizabeth-warren-policy.html |title=Elizabeth Warren and Her Party of Ideas: She's what a serious policy intellectual looks like in 2019 |first=Paul |last=Krugman |work=The New York Times |date=January 7, 2019 |access-date=January 7, 2019 |archive-date=January 8, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190108003615/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/opinion/elizabeth-warren-policy.html |url-status=live }} Warren worked in this field alongside colleagues Teresa A. Sullivan and Jay Westbrook, and the trio published their research in the book As We Forgive Our Debtors in 1989. Warren later recalled that she had begun her research believing that most people filing for bankruptcy were either working the system or had been irresponsible in incurring debts, but that she concluded that such abuse was in fact rare and that the legal framework for bankruptcy was poorly designed, describing the way the research challenged her fundamental beliefs as "worse than disillusionment" and "like being shocked at a deep-down level". In 2004, she published an article in the Washington University Law Review in which she argued that correlating middle-class struggles with over-consumption was a fallacy.{{Cite journal|last=Warren|first=Elizabeth|date=January 1, 2004|title=The Over-Consumption Myth and Other Tales of Economics, Law, and Morality|url=https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/law_lawreview/vol82/iss4/8|journal=Washington University Law Review|volume=82|issue=4|pages=1485–1511|issn=2166-7993|access-date=August 23, 2019|archive-date=July 10, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190710154011/https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/law_lawreview/vol82/iss4/8/|url-status=live}}

Warren joined the University of Pennsylvania Law School as a full professor in 1987 and obtained an endowed chair in 1990, becoming the William A. Schnader Professor of Commercial Law. In 1992, she taught for a year at Harvard Law School as the Robert Braucher Visiting Professor of Commercial Law. In 1995, Warren left Penn to become Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. In 1996, she became the highest-paid professor at Harvard University who was not an administrator, with a $181,300 salary and total compensation of $291,876, including moving expenses and an allowance in lieu of benefits contributions.{{cite news |last1=Hickey |first1=Adam |title=Harvard's Top Five Salaries Total More Than $1.5M |url=https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1997/9/19/harvards-top-five-salaries-total-more/ |access-date=October 9, 2019 |publisher=The Harvard Crimson |date=September 19, 1997 |archive-date=October 7, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191007003751/https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1997/9/19/harvards-top-five-salaries-total-more/ |url-status=live }} {{as of|2011}}, she was Harvard's only tenured law professor who had attended law school at an American public university. Warren was a highly influential law professor. She published in many fields, but her expertise was in bankruptcy and commercial law.

In 1995, the National Bankruptcy Review Commission's chair, former congressman Mike Synar, asked Warren to advise the commission.

Warren and others opposing the legislation were not successful; in 2005, Congress passed the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, which curtailed consumers' ability to file for bankruptcy.{{cite web |last=Sahadi |first=Jeanne |url=https://money.cnn.com/2005/10/17/pf/debt/bankruptcy_law/index.htm |title=The new bankruptcy law and you |work=CNNMoney |date=October 17, 2005 |access-date=April 12, 2007 |archive-date=May 5, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070505202532/http://money.cnn.com/2005/10/17/pf/debt/bankruptcy_law/index.htm |url-status=live }}

Warren was an early advocate for creating a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The bureau was established by the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed into law by President Obama in July 2010. In September 2010, Obama named Warren Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the CFPB to set up the new agency.{{cite web|title=President Obama Names Elizabeth Warren Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau|url=https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2010/09/17/president-obama-names-elizabeth-warren-assistant-president-and-special-a|website=The White House official website|access-date=December 17, 2014|date=September 17, 2010|archive-date=February 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170216171316/https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2010/09/17/president-obama-names-elizabeth-warren-assistant-president-and-special-a|url-status=live}} While liberal groups and consumer advocacy groups urged Obama to formally nominate Warren as the agency's director, financial institutions and Republican members of Congress strongly opposed her, believing she would be an overly zealous regulator.{{cite news |work=The New York Times |first=Edward |last=Wyatt |date=July 4, 2011 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/05/business/economy/05warren.html |title=An Agency Builder, but Not Yet Its Leader |access-date=September 22, 2012 |archive-date=June 20, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120620182649/http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/05/business/economy/05warren.html |url-status=live }}{{cite news |work=The New York Times |date=December 8, 2011 |title=Lousy Filibusters: Richard Cordray Edition |first=Andres |last=Rosenthal |url=https://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/08/lousy-filibusters-richard-cordray-edition |access-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921113953/https://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/08/lousy-filibusters-richard-cordray-edition |url-status=live }} Reportedly convinced that Warren could not win Senate confirmation as the bureau's first director, in January 2012, Obama appointed former Ohio attorney general Richard Cordray to the post in a recess appointment over Republican senators' objections.{{cite news |last=Cooper |first=Helene |url=https://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/04/defying-republicans-obama-to-name-cordray-as-consumer-agency-chief/ |title=Defying Republicans, Obama to Name Cordray as Consumer Agency Chief |work=The New York Times |date=January 4, 2012 |access-date=June 9, 2012 |archive-date=May 24, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120524115959/http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/04/defying-republicans-obama-to-name-cordray-as-consumer-agency-chief/ |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/05/us/politics/cordrays-appointment-clears-way-for-consumer-financial-agency.html |title=Appointment Clears the Way for Consumer Agency to Act |first=Edward |last=Wyatt |date=January 4, 2012 |work=The New York Times |access-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921113952/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/05/us/politics/cordrays-appointment-clears-way-for-consumer-financial-agency.html |url-status=live }}

A close high-school friend told Politico in 2019 that in high school Warren was a "diehard conservative" and that she had since done a "180-degree turn and an about-face". One of her colleagues at the University of Texas in Austin said that at university in the early 1980s Warren was "sometimes surprisingly anti-consumer in her attitude". Gary L. Francione, who had been a colleague of hers at the University of Pennsylvania, recalled in 2019 that when he heard her speak at the time she was becoming politically prominent, he "almost fell off [his] chair... She's definitely changed".{{cite web |url=https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/04/12/elizabeth-warren-profile-young-republican-2020-president-226613 |title=Liz Was a Diehard Conservative |last=Thompson |first=Alex |date=April 12, 2019 |website=Politico |access-date=May 19, 2019 |archive-date=May 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190520223934/https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/04/12/elizabeth-warren-profile-young-republican-2020-president-226613 |url-status=live }} Warren was registered as a Republican from 1991 to 1996 and voted Republican for many years. "I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets", she has said. But she has also said that in the six presidential elections before 1996 she voted for the Republican nominee only once, in 1976, for Gerald Ford.

Warren has said that she began to vote Democratic in 1995 because she no longer believed that the Republicans were the party who best supported markets, but she has said she has voted for both parties because she believed neither should dominate.{{Cite news|url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/10/24/elizabeth-warren-i-created-occupy-wall-street|title=Elizabeth Warren: 'I Created Occupy Wall Street'|last=Jacobs|first=Samuel P.|date=October 24, 2011|work=The Daily Beast|access-date=September 29, 2018|archive-date=September 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200915161831/https://www.thedailybeast.com/elizabeth-warren-i-created-occupy-wall-street|url-status=live}} According to Warren, she left the Republican Party because it is no longer "principled in its conservative approach to economics and to markets" and is instead tilting the playing field in favor of large financial institutions and against middle-class American families.{{cite web |url=https://thinkprogress.org/why-elizabeth-warren-left-the-gop-e78680711424/ |title=Why Elizabeth Warren Left The GOP |date=April 27, 2014 |work=ThinkProgress |first=Jeff |last=Spross |access-date=January 1, 2019 |archive-date=February 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200214204634/https://thinkprogress.org/why-elizabeth-warren-left-the-gop-e78680711424/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web|url=https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/11/30/elizabeth-warren-dr-phil-222725|date=November 30, 2018|title=The Making of Elizabeth Warren|last=Kruse|first=Michael|website=Politico|language=en|access-date=January 1, 2019|archive-date=December 31, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181231133857/https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/11/30/elizabeth-warren-dr-phil-222725|url-status=live}}

Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless. Keep a big hunk of it.

Warren received a prime-time speaking slot at the 2012 Democratic National Convention on September 5, 2012.

And here's the painful part: They're right. The system is rigged."

In December 2012, Warren was assigned a seat on the Senate Banking Committee, which oversees the implementation of Dodd–Frank and other regulation of the banking industry.{{cite news|last=Montopoli|first=Brian|title=Elizabeth Warren assigned to Senate banking committee|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elizabeth-warren-assigned-to-senate-banking-committee/|website=CBS News|date=December 12, 2012|access-date=September 21, 2019|archive-date=September 21, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921212641/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elizabeth-warren-assigned-to-senate-banking-committee/|url-status=live}} Vice President Joe Biden swore Warren in on January 3, 2013.{{cite news |url=https://www.wbur.org/news/2013/01/04/warren-first-women-senator |title=Elizabeth Warren Sworn In As First Female Senator From Mass. |last=Thys |first=Fred |date=January 4, 2013 |work=WBUR |access-date=May 18, 2013 |archive-date=July 24, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180724093456/http://www.wbur.org/news/2013/01/04/warren-first-women-senator |url-status=live }}

At Warren's first Banking Committee hearing in February 2013, she pressed several banking regulators to say when they had last taken a Wall Street bank to trial and said, "I'm really concerned that 'too big to fail' has become 'too big for trial'."

Warren compared money laundering to drug possession, saying: "If you're caught with an ounce of cocaine, the chances are good you're going to go to jail ...

Saying "despite the progress we've made since 2008, the biggest banks continue to threaten our economy", in July 2015 Warren, John McCain, Maria Cantwell, and Angus King reintroduced the 21st Century Glass–Steagall Act, a modern version of the Banking Act of 1933.

During the debate on Senator Jeff Sessions's nomination for United States attorney general in February 2017, Warren quoted a letter Coretta Scott King had written Senator Strom Thurmond in 1986 when Sessions was nominated for a federal judgeship. King wrote, "Mr. Sessions has used the awesome power of his office to chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens in the district he now seeks to serve as a federal judge. This simply cannot be allowed to happen." Senate Republicans voted that by reading the letter from King, Warren had violated Senate Rule 19, which prohibits impugning another senator's character.{{cite news|url=https://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/08/politics/elizabeth-warren-coretta-scott-king-letter-jeff-sessions/index.html|title=The Coretta Scott King Letter Elizabeth Warren was Trying to Read|date=February 8, 2017|website=CNN|access-date=February 10, 2017|archive-date=February 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170210152206/http://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/08/politics/elizabeth-warren-coretta-scott-king-letter-jeff-sessions/index.html|url-status=live}} This prohibited Warren from further participating in the debate on Sessions's nomination, and Warren instead read King's letter while streaming live online.{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/02/07/republicans-vote-to-rebuke-elizabeth-warren-for-impugning-sessionss-character/|title=Republicans vote to rebuke Elizabeth Warren, saying she impugned Sessions's character|first1=Paul|last1=Kane|first2=Ed|last2=O'Keefe|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=February 8, 2017|access-date=February 8, 2017|archive-date=February 8, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170208040942/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/02/07/republicans-vote-to-rebuke-elizabeth-warren-for-impugning-sessionss-character/|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/elizabeth-warren-sessions-silence-234779|title=Senate votes to shut up Elizabeth Warren|author=Seung Min Kim|work=Politico|date=February 8, 2017|access-date=February 8, 2017|archive-date=February 8, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170208043632/http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/elizabeth-warren-sessions-silence-234779|url-status=live}} In rebuking Warren, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor, "She was warned.

Warren staged her first campaign event in Lawrence to demonstrate the constituency groups she hopes to appeal to, including working class families, union members, women, and new immigrants. She called for major changes in government:

{{blockquote |text=It won't be enough to just undo the terrible acts of this administration. We can't afford to just tinker around the edges—a tax credit here, a regulation there. Our fight is for big, structural change. This is the fight of our lives. The fight to build an America where dreams are possible, an America that works for everyone.}}

Following her candidacy announcement, Warren became known for the number and depth of her policy proposals, including plans to assist family farms by addressing the advantages held by large agricultural conglomerates, plans to reduce student loan debt and offer free tuition at public colleges, a plan to make large corporations pay more in taxes and better regulate large technology companies, several proposals inspired by opposition to President Trump, a plan to utilize economic patriotism, and plans to address opioid addiction.{{cite news |last1=Tamkin |first1=Emily |title="I have a plan for that": US presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren is making a case for optimism |url=https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/elizabeth-warren-profile-american-election-2020-democrat-policies |access-date=January 19, 2020 |work=Prospect Magazine |archive-date=December 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191214074950/https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/elizabeth-warren-profile-american-election-2020-democrat-policies |url-status=live }}{{cite magazine |last1=Kolhatkar |first1=Sheela |title=Can Elizabeth Warren Win It All? |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/06/24/can-elizabeth-warren-win-it-all |date=June 24, 2019 |magazine=The New Yorker |access-date=June 15, 2019 |archive-date=June 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190614230517/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/06/24/can-elizabeth-warren-win-it-all |url-status=live }} One of her signature plans was a wealth tax, dubbed the "Ultra-Millionaire Tax", on fortunes over $50 million.{{cite web |title=Iltra-Millionaire Tax |url=https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/ultra-millionaire-tax |publisher=Elizabeth Warren for President. |access-date=August 11, 2020 |archive-date=August 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803045034/https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/ultra-millionaire-tax |url-status=live }} Warren was credited with popularizing the idea of a wealth tax with Americans, leading competitor Bernie Sanders to release a wealth tax plan.{{cite web |title=Bernie Sanders proposes a wealth tax, setting up a clash with Elizabeth Warren |url=https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-09-24/bernie-sanders-wealth-tax-proposal-elizabeth-warren |work=Los Angeles Times |date=September 24, 2019 |access-date=August 11, 2020 |archive-date=February 25, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200225184232/https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-09-24/bernie-sanders-wealth-tax-proposal-elizabeth-warren |url-status=live }} "I have a plan for that" began to develop as a catchphrase for Warren's campaign, and her campaign store began selling merchandise displaying the phrase.{{cite news |last1=Swasey |first1=Benjamin |title='A Plan For That': Here's A Collection Of Warren's Notable Policy Proposals |url=https://www.wbur.org/news/2019/10/15/warren-plans-taxes-climate-immigration-corruption-guns |work=www.wbur.org |date=7 January 2020 |language=en}}

After the ninth debate of the 2020 Democratic primaries, on February 19, Warren received considerable media coverage for her scolding of fellow candidate Mike Bloomberg.

In early June 2019, Warren placed second in some polls, with Joe Biden in first place and Bernie Sanders in third. In the following weeks her poll numbers steadily increased, and a September Iowa poll placed her in the lead with 22% to Biden's 20%. The Iowa poll also rated the number of voters at least considering voting for each candidate; Warren scored 71% to Biden's 60%.

An October 24 Quinnipiac poll placed Warren in the lead at 28%, with Biden at 21% and Sanders at 15%. When asked which candidate had the best policy ideas, 30% of respondents named Warren, with Sanders at 20% and Biden 15%. Sanders was most often named as the candidate who "cares most about people like you," with Warren in second place and Biden third. Sanders also placed first at 28% when respondents were asked which candidate was the most honest, followed by Warren and Biden at 15% each.{{cite web |title=October 24, 2019 – Warren Opens Up Lead In Dem Primary As Biden Slips, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Dems Say Sanders Is Most Honest Candidate |url=https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=3646 |website=Quinnipiac University national poll |access-date=October 24, 2019 |archive-date=October 23, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191023195434/https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=3646 |url-status=live }}

Throughout his first term in office, President Donald Trump mocked Warren for her assertions of Native American ancestry{{Cite web |url=https://theintercept.com/2018/10/16/elizabeth-warren-dna-video-native-american-harvard/ |work=The Intercept |title=What Elizabeth Warren Still Doesn't Get |first=Briahna |last=Gray |date=October 16, 2018 |access-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-date=August 13, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190813140445/https://theintercept.com/2018/10/16/elizabeth-warren-dna-video-native-american-harvard/ |url-status=live }} and pejoratively called her "Pocahontas". At a July 2018 Montana rally, he promised that if he debated Warren, he would pay $1 million to her favorite charity if she took a DNA test and "it shows you're an Indian".{{cite web |url=https://www.politifact.com/article/2018/oct/15/context-donald-trumps-1-million-offer-elizabeth-wa/ | title=PolitiFact - in context: Donald Trump's $1 million offer to Elizabeth Warren }} In October 2018, Warren released an analysis of a DNA test by geneticist Carlos D. Bustamante that found her ancestry to be mostly European but "strongly support[ed] the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor", likely "in the range of 6 to 10 generations ago".{{cite web |title=Elizabeth Warren: DNA test shows strong likelihood I have Native-American heritage |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elizabeth-warren-dna-test-shows-strong-likelihood-i-have-native-american-heritage/ |work=CBS News |access-date=September 24, 2019 |language=en |date=October 15, 2018 |archive-date=September 24, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190924134713/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elizabeth-warren-dna-test-shows-strong-likelihood-i-have-native-american-heritage/ |url-status=live }} According to The Boston Globe, this puts Warren somewhere between 1/64 and 1/1024 (0.09% to 1.5%) Native American. Other geneticists, while not disputing the test's validity, found the underlying science "flawed" due to the lack of Native Americans in the United States in the database.{{cite web |title=The real problem with Elizabeth Warren's DNA test: Geneticists - Defining Native American heritage with DNA tests misses the point, experts said |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/CuttingEdge/geneticists-real-problem-elizabeth-warrens-dna-test/story?id=58563279 |work=ABC News |access-date=January 30, 2023 |language=en |date=October 18, 2018 }} Geneticists Krystal Tsosie and Matthew Anderson called the interpretation of the test "problematic", citing, among other reasons, "Warren's motives, and the genetic variants informing the comparison". They added: "because Bustamante used Indigenous individuals from Central and South America as a reference group to compare Warren's DNA, we believe he should have stated only that Warren potentially had an 'Indigenous' ancestor 6-10 generations ago, not conclusively a 'Native American' one. The distinction might seem hypercritical to most, but to the sovereign tribal nations of the United States it's an important one."{{cite web |title=Two Native American geneticists interpret Elizabeth Warren's DNA test |url=https://theconversation.com/two-native-american-geneticists-interpret-elizabeth-warrens-dna-test-105274 |work=ABC News |access-date=January 31, 2023 |language=en |date=October 22, 2018 }}

During a January 2019 public appearance in Sioux City, Iowa, Warren was asked by an attendee, "Why did you undergo the DNA testing and give Donald more fodder to be a bully?"

Green considers Warren to have demonstrated "a new way" approach in national politics, whereby politicians engage in "big, loud, messy fights that offered moral clarity and galvanized public sentiment behind a position." He credited this approach for enabling Warren to "take on her own party".{{cite magazine |last1=Stern |first1=Scott W. |title=The Socialist Moment Hasn't Passed.

Warren strongly believes that "personnel is policy": that the policy of a presidency is shaped by who a president appoints to their administration. She has influenced President Obama, 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and President Biden on the matter of staffing presidential administrations.

Warren discreetly engaged in an effort to shape the administration Hillary Clinton would lead if she won the 2016 election. In his 2024 book, Stern noted that after Warren (bullish on her own 2016 prospects of winning a presidential election) had declined grassroots efforts to draft her into a candidacy. Recognizing that Clinton stood of becoming the party's nominee, Warren quietly worked to influence how she might staff an administration.

In 2019, Alex Thompson reported in Politico on Warren's efforts ahead of the 2016 election to pressure Clinton on potential appointees. Thompson described Warren's theory on political power as "combining tough, often hyperbolic rhetoric to create leverage with quieter, hands-on, person-to-person outreach." He reported that, beginning in December 2014, Warren had discreetly "pressed Clinton to commit to not appointing Wall Street-friendly people to her administration, as Warren felt Bill Clinton and Barack Obama had done." He described this effort as a

{{blockquote|Two-year campaign by Warren, her staff and outside allies to push, prod and shape the would-be Clinton administration—an effort that also included an informal blacklist of Clinton allies that Warren and outside partners would resist if nominated for jobs in the Clinton administration.}}

Thompson reported that Warren had also "sent Clinton a list of people she wanted the campaign team to consult on economic policy in order to broaden their horizons", all of whom had been "critical of the Obama administration's response to the 2008 financial crisis, as Warren had." Thompson reported that Clinton and her political advisors gave great deference to Warren's advice, both out of concern that Warren might otherwise challenge Clinton in the primary, but also due to "Warren’s credibility among progressives and her willingness to use her bully pulpit to condemn members of her own party."{{cite web |last1=Thompson |first1=Alex |title=Inside the Secret List of Demands Warren Gave Hillary |url=https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2019/12/19/elizabeth-warren-hillary-clinton-economy-087346 |website=Politico |access-date=June 10, 2024 |date=December 19, 2019}}

Warren has had notable success in lobbying President Biden on certain appointments in his administration. A number of Warren's acolytes have served in the Biden administration, including Bharat Ramamurti (a former economic policy advisor to Warren){{cite web |last1=Voght |first1=Kara |title=How Elizabeth Warren's acolytes infiltrated Bidenworld |url=https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/03/how-elizabeth-warrens-acolytes-infiltrated-bidenworld/ |website=Mother Jones |access-date=October 4, 2021 |date=March 11, 2021}} and Sasha Baker (a former senate and campaign policy advisor to Warren on national security).Multiple sources:

In March 2021, Kara Voght of Mother Jones wrote, "Warren has been a private but constant voice to the Biden administration on personnel decisions." That same month, Zachary Warmbrodt of Politico wrote:

{{blockquote|President Joe Biden is enlisting a small army of [Warren's] former aides and allies to run his government. Warren's expanding network in the upper echelons of the administration includes protégés who helped execute her aggressive oversight of big banks and other corporations as well as friends who share her views of the risks looming on Wall Street. But it goes beyond finance, covering pivotal posts at the Department of Education and even the National Security Council. The Warren recruits mark a victory for the progressive movement, which has supported her yearslong "personnel is policy" campaign to chip away at the dominance of corporate insiders in setting policy for Democrats.{{cite web |last1=Warmbrodt |first1=Zachary |title='Most influential voice': Warren's network spreads throughout Biden administration |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/15/elizabeth-warren-aides-biden-administration-475653 |website=Politico |access-date=8 March 2024 |date=March 15, 2021}}}}

In 2004, Warren and her daughter, Amelia Tyagi, wrote The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke. In the book they state that at that time, a fully employed worker earned less inflation-adjusted income than a fully employed worker had 30 years earlier. Although families spent less at that time on clothing, appliances, and other forms of consumption, the costs of core expenses such as mortgages, health care, transportation, and child care had increased dramatically. According to the authors, the result was that even families with two income earners were no longer able to save and incurred ever greater debt.{{cite book|last=Warren|first=Elizabeth|title=All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan|year=2005|publisher=Free Press|isbn=978-0-7432-6987-2|author2=Amelia Warren Tyagi|pages=[https://archive.org/details/allyourworthulti00warr/page/1 1–12]|url=https://archive.org/details/allyourworthulti00warr/page/1}}

In an article in The New York Times, Jeff Madrick said of the book:

{{blockquote| The authors find that it is not the free-spending young or the incapacitated elderly who are declaring bankruptcy so much as families with children ... their main thesis is undeniable. Typical families often cannot afford the high-quality education, health care, and neighborhoods required to be middle class today. More clearly than anyone else, I think, Ms. Warren and Ms. Tyagi have shown how little attention the nation and our government have paid to the way Americans really live.{{cite news |last=Madrick |first=Jeff |title=Necessities, not luxuries, are driving Americans into debt, a new book says |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/04/business/economic-scene-necessities-not-luxuries-are-driving-americans-into-debt-new-book.html |date=September 4, 2003 |work=The New York Times |access-date=June 3, 2009 |archive-date=December 12, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091212182413/http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/04/business/economic-scene-necessities-not-luxuries-are-driving-americans-into-debt-new-book.html| issn=0362-4331 |eissn=1553-8095 |oclc=1645522 |url-status=live }} }}

In 2005, Warren and David Himmelstein published a study on bankruptcy and medical bills{{cite journal |last1=Himmelstein |first1=David U. |last2=Warren |first2=Elizabeth |last3=Thorne |first3=Deborah |last4=Woolhandler |first4=Steffie J. |s2cid=43681024 |title=Illness and Injury as Contributors to Bankruptcy |journal=Health Affairs |date=February 8, 2005 |volume=Suppl Web Exclusives |pages=W5-63-W5-73 |ssrn=664565 |doi=10.2139/ssrn.664565 |pmid=15689369 }} that found that half of all families filing for bankruptcy did so in the aftermath of a serious medical problem.
