In a very contentious CNN focus group, Trump voters clashed with each other's opinions of Trump.

Warren also joined the  growing list of lawmakers   calling for the repeal of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which prevents the federal government from recognizing married gay couples and offering them federal benefits: "I’m deeply proud to be from Massachusetts because the Commonwealth has been the nation’s leader in protecting and promoting equality – from marriage equality to the recently passed Transgender Equal Rights Bill.
