Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts who is now a front-runner for the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination along with former Vice President Joe Biden, wrote in a post on the website Medium that her plan would result in the federal government investing an additional $450 billion in elementary and secondary schools over the next decade.
