Liberal boosters for consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren are redoubling their pressure on President Barack Obama to pick her to lead a new financial watchdog agency — despite Republicans’ all-out attempts to undermine the bureau, deny her stewardship of it and block Obama from giving her the job over the Memorial Day recess.

Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee told POLITICO in a statement Friday that his group will keep pressing Obama to name Warren as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He noted his group has collected 175,000 signatures supporting her in just two days, and challenged Obama and Democratic lawmakers to fight for her with all the weapons in their political arsenal, “the biggest being the presidential bully pulpit.”
