The former Virginia governor, who worked to elect Democratic governors during 2018 midterms, said there was a “50 per cent” chance he would run.
The Ohio senator is still undecided about whether to run for president in 2020.
The former New Orleans mayor said he doesn’t think he will run for president, but “never say never”.
Mr Trump has used the “Pocahontas” slur several times when talking about Ms Warren. He even used it at a ceremony honouring Navajo leaders at The White House in 2017.
The president also chose to hang a portrait of Andrew Jackson, the president who signed the Indian Removal Act into law in 1830, in the Oval Office.
The ancestry issue threatens to overshadow Ms Warren’s presidential campaign. In the past week she has been forced to apologise for claiming Native American identity early in her career.
The Washington Post revealed she listed her race as “American Indian” on a Texas bar registration card in 1986.
In October she released a DNA test showing up to 1/64 of her DNA was from a Native American population.
Ms Warren made her bid for the presidency official in the working-class Massachusetts city of Lawrence on Saturday, promising to build “an America that works for everyone”.
She said the president “is not the cause of what’s broken … He’s just the latest and most extreme symptom of what’s gone wrong in America”.
The senator enters the race as one of the party’s most recognisable figures, having first emerged as a consumer activist during the financial crisis. She also has $11 million left over from her 2018 Senate re-election victory that can be used on her presidential run.
Earlier this month a Politico/Morning Consult poll of Democrat voters showed former Vice President Joe Biden leading the pack with 33 per cent of the vote, Senator Bernie Sanders in second at 15 per cent and Senator Kamala Harris in third with 10 per cent.
Ms Warren was tied for fourth on 6 per cent.
After proposing an “ultra-millionaire tax” that would hit the wealthiest 75,000 households in America, Ms Warren said last week that she continues to “believe in capitalism”.

Launched for the first time outside Russia through Google Hangout, DENAS PCM 6 hit the stands in June. A new kind of medical device designed to address pain, promote energy and speed up healing in a completely natural and holistic approach.
KURTISTOWN, Hawaii - June 13, 2016 - PRLog -- eBodyFUSION announced on June 4th this year its worldwide launch on Google Hangout featuring the new DENAS PCM. The launch made the innovative, one-of-a-kind frequency-giving pain relief device accessible to every person in every country in the world.
DENAS PCM 6 was originally launched in Russia and is now made globally available for those who can make good use of its benefits. A handheld device uses bipolar electrical pulses (felt as tingles) directed to different parts of the body. As the body receives these impulses, the muscles and nerves react by reducing pain and even speeding up the healing process. The holistic ability of the product also manages to boost the energy of its user when utilized on a daily basis.
The science behind DENAS PCM 6 has been studied and verified for over 30 years. It has been known that under certain frequencies, the body becomes more responsive and thus, may be encouraged towards a certain end. Using this knowledge, DENAS is equipped with different adjustable frequencies to be used for different pain situation. Due to its non-invasive use, DENAS PCM 6 may be used on any body part to solve pain and boost energy.
To illustrate, there's the 140Hz to 200Hz setting which is often used for quick pain relief. A program "MED" regimen is used to prevent various diseases for those who have a healthy constitution. It also comes with settings ideal for children as young as newborns to 12 years of age.
DENAS is equipped with attachments designed to expand its use to different body parts. This includes goggles, a massage set, pencil probe, pad set, and a reflexo for the feet.
Manufacturers of the DENAS PCM engineered the product for home use, inputting 24 automated programs to make its use easier. An onscreen instruction is also available for a more comprehensive understanding of how it works. Those who have issues remembering to stick to their regimen can make use of the Scheduler feature which reminds users about their next appointment with the DENAS PCM 6.
The training, however, goes beyond what is supplied in the unit itself. Those who will be purchasing the product upon its launch will be privy to a host of online training programs starting with the 7 Day DENAS Training. There's also a 4-Week Self Study Ninja guide for those wishing to learn further before starting their use.
Dr. David Ridley MD, from Florida emphasizes the value of the training provided by the manufacturers, commenting that it is one of their best selling point.
To expand the knowledge and association of users after a global launch, DENAS PCM providers also have a 24/7 Facebook Group Support, Lifetime Membership, and access to DENAS PCM webinars. DENAS PCM carries a one year limited warranty against defect on workmanship.
Those who want to find out more about DENAS PCM 6 are encouraged to visit eBodyFUSION's Google Hangout or their official website.
James McCartney, the 35-year-old son of ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, got a taste of the harsh media spotlight Wednesday during a British interview promoting his own music.
In what website The Independent described as a "car-crash interview" on "BBC Breakfast," the younger McCartney gave brief and at times one-word answers to hosts Bill Turnbull and Susanna Reid, often the kiss of death in live interviews.
For example, when the host asked McCartney about his U.S. tour: “That sounds pretty tiring,” McCartney responded in a deadpan: "Yeah," according to The Independent. When Reid tried to push for more information, McCartney added: "No it was OK. It was good fun."
The clincher seemed to come when the hosts, talking about the credits on his album "Me," asked about his famous father, who is still wildly popular in Britain.
"Paul McCartney, who’s he?" Turnbull joked, according to The Independent. The younger McCartney deadpanned again, "Oh, he’s my father."
Fans took to Twitter, slamming McCartney's interview as "excruciating" and "awkward."
"Yet another James McCartney PR disaster! Come on lad – take notes from your Dad," said Liverpool tweeter Cavern Blog.
South England Twitter user Adam Fahn commented: "James McCartney on BBC Breakfast with a lack of personality & mediocre musical talent, shows that the music industry is not a meritocracy."
"James McCartney has become fodder for media trainers across the country on how NOT to do an interview," added London Tweeter Farimah.
"Me" is James McCartney's first full-length album of his music, according to the "BBC Breakfast" interview. On his website, McCartney described "Me," which was released on May 21, as "honest."
"For my first album I wanted to make a record that would be intimate, deeply personal, and honest,” he said on the website. "An album that would say, 'This is who I am … both musically and personally. This is me."
McCartney said on his website that he wants to become a musician who evolves with time and experience.
"Some artists are happy doing the same thing again and again, but my favorite artists are the ones who evolve and grow, and I want to be one of them," he said on the website.

With the wealth of inspiration that the homeliness of Christmas offers, Easter can appear to be literature’s second-string festival. As a festival, Easter offers real drama. It begins with triumph, goes through betrayal, despair, suffering and for believer’s it culminates in great triumph. For a novelist it offers a great symbolic journey, which as well as being the journey of a great man is the journey of humanity. As well as the religious symbolism of Easter the idea of becoming new is very potent, the idea of being born again and beginning afresh.
The word Easter comes from a Germanic word that is cognate with “east”, and therefore with dawn, pointing to the spirit of new beginnings which Easter represents. Benjamin Disraeli coined the term for celebrating Easter, so however you’re Eastering this weekend there are no shortage of literary works inspired by Easter to keep you company.
Faulkner took the title for this novel from the Macbeth speech where Macbeth laments the futility of life being a “ tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
It opens inside the mind of the “idiot,”Benjy Compson, a 33-year-old man who has the mind of a small child. More than any other modern masterpiece Easter is pivotal to the novel’s architecture and plot. Three of the four parts of Faulkner’s magnum opus are set on the Easter weekend of 1928, with the final part occurring on Easter Sunday. In the novel, several characters experience parallels with Christ’s death and/or his resurrection. Friday’s narration is by Jason, the cruel, sadistic male heir of the Compsons whose malevolence is in stark contrast to Christ’s forgiveness and love. Holy Saturday marks its narrator Benjy’s birthday as he turns 33; Jesus Christ died at age 33. Benjy may be seen as a Christ figure, cast aside as an idiot and made impotent by modern society. The deaths of Quentin and Mr Compson, the loss of Caddy’s virginity, and the deterioration of the Compson family may all be viewed through the lens of Christ’s death and resurrection.
A segment of Sunday’s narration, often known as “Dilsey’s part”, although not narrated by her, is set in a church of African Americans rocked by a moving sermon about the resurrection. This segment crystallises the goodness of Dilsey, who reflects Christian principles demonstrated by Jesus: strength, courage, and love. In the end, readers must decide for themselves if there is any redemption for the Compson family.
This is Tolstoy’s last novel and perhaps his most controversial. Published in 1899 it is a scathing indictment of injustice, corruption and hypocrisy at all levels of Russian society. The story of Prince Dmititi Nekhlyudov’s journey to redeem a past guilt, Tolstoy’s storytelling genius bring to life this unjust world.
Joan Didion considers this “Yates’s best novel”, even better than Revolutionary Road, which was made into a film by Sam Mendes starring Kate Winslet and with Leonardo DiCaprio. The Easter in Yates’s novel is not one that is a portend to renewal and rebirth, it is an Easter that is a watershed moment in the lives of two girls Sarah and Emily. Sarah dresses up in “an expensive dress of heavy silk” and a “ broad-brimmed hat of closely woven straw” to take part in New York’s Easter Parade . As she is driven uptown by her handsome fiancé, her younger sister Emily watches on giddy with the promise life holds. The New York Times photographed the couple and the camera “had caught Sarah and Tony smiling at each other like the very soul of romance in the April sunshine, with massed trees and a high corner of the Plaza hotel just visible behind them” . The novel ends during a Springtime decades later, the story of the girl’s lives and loves delivered in exquisite prose by this master storyteller. Yates has an unflinching eye for the human capacity for self-delusion and for excavating a bleak beauty from life’s tragedies. Yates has been described as the Flaubert of the Eisenhower years; he peeled away the veneer of postwar plenty and saw the empty chasm beneath.
Innovative in his use of stanza and voice, Hardy’s poetry, like his fiction, is characterised by a pervasive fatalism. In the words of biographer Claire Tomalin, the poems illuminate “the contradictions always present in Hardy, between the vulnerable, doomstruck man and the serene inhabitant of the natural world”. Hardy’s Easter poem eschews the traditional religious Easter poems in this tribute to the “unpenned.. nameless Christs”, “men whom rulers slew/ For their goodwill.” This poem commemorates victims of torture and oppression who have no Good Fridays to remind the world of their suffering and death.
The Easter theme of this, the second of Eliot’s Four Quartets, is especially prevalent in the fourth section, a short lyric which casts Christ as a “wounded surgeon” – wounded because of the crucifixion, but a “surgeon” who carries the cure for all of humanity’s ills. Eliot wrote East Coker in 1940, against the background of the second World War and the Blitz.
Set during the Easter weekend of 1949(the date of the declaration of the Irish Republic )in the university town of Baile an Chaisil, a thinly disguised Galway, the novel immerses the reader into the bawdy world of Martin Melody, a pub-crawling university student and his student side kicks. The novel was published in 1976 as Gaeilge as Lig Sinn i gCathú, a rebellious challenge to the pious Lord’s Prayer. Breandan O hEithir’s fictoir will strike a chord with any one who lived the student life with his depictions of odious landladies, crackpot academics and clergymen. After a particularly indulgent session on holy Thursday night Martin and his dig’s room mate Billy are awoken by the landlady Mrs Anderson, who had already been to morning devotions, the stations of the cross, had visited the cemetery and a session of scandalmongering in her sister’s house. She’s hammering on the door screaming: “In the name of God, boys, are you trying to bring the curse of the Almighty down on my house? For God’s sake, get up quick! It’s gone one o; clock. Get up and show some respect for the Passion, the Divine Thirst and the Crucifixion.” This reader could well imagine the divine thirst that Martin and Billy were experiencing and could empathise with the misery they endured on that long Good Friday.
CS Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the opening novel of the Chronicles of Narnia series and is widely regarded as its highlight. Lewis felt that some of the religious stories of his childhood lacked the creative spark to invite an “imaginative welcome” to the Christian faith. Lewis wanted to rewrite the religious stories of his boyhood and imbue them with a fantastical, magical feel. Religious symbolism plays a major role in the Chronicles of Narnia.One of the best examples of this symbolism is Aslan, the noble lion of Narnia. Just about everyone agrees that he’s the stand-out character of the Chronicles of Narnia and probably Lewis’s greatest literary creation. Aslan is a literary Christ figure who plays a pivotal role in the story of Narnia, just as Jesus Christ is central to the Christian faith.
Lewis explained in a letter to his friend Arthur Greeves in October 1931, that he set out his story of Aslan as a retelling of the “actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection”. The future of this story is assured as it opens up some of the deepest questions of life and points to that the special beauty and wonder at the heart of the universe.
Lewis does not tell us what Jesus Christ is like; he shows us what Aslan is like, and allows us to take things from there by ourselves.
“Let us suppose that there were a land like Narnia, and that the Son of God, as he became a Man in our world, became a Lion there, and then imagine what would happen,” he told a school class in Maryland in a letter in 1954.
For Lewis, one of Aslan’s chief roles is to enable people to discover the truth about themselves.
