Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said she wants to abolish the Electoral College—the method used to elect every U.S. president in history—if she wins the 2020 election.

“My goal is to get elected—but I plan to be the last American president to be elected by the Electoral College. I want my second term to be elected by direct vote,” Warren said during a campaign event in Marion, Iowa, on Dec. 1.
