I had thought he had passed over the race because he felt he needed more backing from Obama. He and Obama go way back together - they have a personal relationship, not just a political one. And remember, here in Massachusetts Liz Warren was really completely an Obama creation in politics - she was an academic with no local political history and Obama cleared the field for her Senate run because he wanted her in the Senate. So the local Obama team here has pretty much been all Warren in this election.
My understanding is he's got some significant financial backing for the run. But let's face it, he should have gotten in 6 to 12 months ago, and many, many people who might have supported him have long since been committed elsewhere.

He's a male Kamala Harris. Too corporate, measured, and careful.
I don't know how Pete's getting away with it. He's an ex-McKinsey guy whose platform is Clinton Democrat. He should have gone down alongside Harris, but is somehow out-raising everyone.
