Has Elizabeth Warren endorsed Hillary?

I keep seeing that claim by Hillary supporters. It doesn't seem that it's accurate.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) gave less than full-throated support to Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday, days ahead of Clinton's expected entry into the 2016 presidential race that some Democrats to Clinton's left want Warren to also join.

Asked whether Clinton is the "future of the Democratic Party," the Massachusetts senator hedged.

"Well, I think we have to see, first of all, if she declares, and what she says she wants to run on," Warren said on CBS This Morning. "I think that's really the interesting question at this point.”

That sounds far short of an endorsement from the political figure who has emerged as the darling of the Democrats' progressive wing. Warren has repeatedly said she will not run in 2016, and has made no clear moves toward a reconsideration of that stance. Still, a persistent group of disaffected Democrats is urging Warren to challenge Clinton from the left.

is not an endorsement, no matter how many time it is referred to.
Personally, I don't care if Warren endorses Hillary. That would just be a political move.
