Bailey Warren (born c. May 2018)[1] is a pet dog owned by United States Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. A male golden retriever, Bailey played a role in Warren's 2020 presidential campaign and was a fixture on the campaign trail, appearing in selfies alongside his owner.

Activities

Bailey accompanies Warren as she announces her presidential campaign in Lawrence, Massachusetts on February 9, 2019.

Bailey was a 2018 gift from Warren's husband, Bruce.[2] The couple told CNN in an October 2019 interview that they had long been dog people, and that Bailey helped them keep calm and maintain "the illusion of normalcy".[1] They had previously owned another golden retriever, Otis, who died in 2012.[1]

During Warren's 2020 campaign, Bailey was featured in official and unofficial campaign merchandise including stickers, t-shirts, tote bags, and leashes.[3][4]

He made several notable appearances on the campaign trail, including crashing a CNN interview in October 2019,[5] appearing in a Fort Dodge, Iowa rally in January 2020, and serving as a surrogate while Warren was attending the Trump impeachment trial.[6]

During the Iowa caucuses, The Des Moines Register credited Bailey as a "natural closer" in its endorsement of Warren.[6]

Shortly after his owner announced the end of her presidential campaign on March 5, 2020, Bailey was filmed stealing a burrito presumed to belong to a Warren campaign staffer or press aid.[7][8] The video of the incident went viral, attracting over 180,000 likes on Twitter.[9] Many of Warren and Bailey's supporters jumped to his defense, maintaining that Bailey was "stress eating", and looking for "comfort food".

An unofficial Twitter fan account operated by Robert Abare,[2] @FirstDogBailey, has over 30,000 followers.[10]
