I do see a 2024 run for her as well.
Best case scenario: Trump winning and having a disastrous presidency would set Warren up for a perfect 2020 candidacy.
Clinton winning two terms and having decent approval ratings eight years from now, comparable to Obama's current rating, would also allow Warren to ease right into the presidency. Although Democrats winning five presidential elections in a row is very unlikely.
Middle case scenario: Clinton loses reelection in 2020 to a moderate Republican, creating an unlikely environment for Warren to succeed in, but still leaving room for a 2024 run if said moderate has a terrible presidency.
Worst case scenario: Trump somehow wins two terms and miraculously has a decent presidency, which would spell disaster for any political future for Warren and probably most Democrats, as such a scenario would prove the US was far more right wing than they thought.
