And you can expect many more to join if or when she decides to run.

But not everyone is ready for Hillary.

On Friday, in an open letter, a group of more than 300 campaign staffers for Obama are calling for Elizabeth Warren to get in the Democratic primary. This is the latest move this week to try and urge the Massachusetts senator into the race.

Warren has said repeatedly she is not running, but has always been careful to note it in the present tense.

In Friday’s letter, the group writes: “We believed in an unlikely candidate who no one thought had a chance. We worked for him — and against all odds, we won in Iowa. We organized like no campaign had organized before — and won the Democratic primary. We built a movement — and the country elected the first-ever African American president. We know that the improbable is far from impossible.”

The letter does not mention Clinton at all, but says they are “joining with the thousands of Americans who are calling on Elizabeth Warren to run for president in 2016.”
