Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Saturday faced questions related to the results of a DNA test she took last year while stumping in Iowa for her first trip since running for president.
Warren, who announced on New Year's Eve that she is forming an exploratory committee for a White House bid, addressed questions about the test during a stop in Sioux City.
“I’m glad you asked that question. I genuinely am,†she told an attendee at a town hall who asked about the test's results.
“I’m not a person of color. I’m not a citizen of a tribe. Tribal citizenship is very different from ancestry. Tribes and only tribes determine tribal citizenship and I respect that difference,†she continued.
