U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren's Super Tuesday strategy is "to compete everywhere," she told reporters after voting for herself in the Democratic presidential primary.

Warren’s only public appearance in Massachusetts Tuesday was at the Cambridge school where she cast her ballot, before she heads off to Michigan for an event in Detroit. She gave a speech in California Monday night.

Warren said she'll be spending Tuesday night in Michigan, which votes next week, "because it was just next on the schedule to get out there and talk to people."

"I don't think you should read anything special into it, but I’m delighted to be there," she said.

Warren supporters lined the few blocks between her Linnean Street home and her polling place, cheering and wishing her well as the candidate, her husband Bruce Mann, and their dog Bailey walked by.

"Policy rocks!" Warren told one group, who moments earlier had been chanting about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

After voting, Warren told supporters that this election "is a moment we've been called to in history, and it is a moment not just to get rid of Donald Trump."

"It is a moment to build the America of our best values," she said.

Warren placed behind the pack leaders in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and likely needs a stronger performance Tuesday, when 14 states are voting, if she plans to continue her quest for the White House.
