You can see a rainbow ONLY by facing away from the sun. Raindrops then refract the sun's light to diffract. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction

Bible writers about arks and floods never grasped any science.

Are we so tightly wound up that nobody can just enjoy the sight of a rainbow before a political event without arguing about whether it's some kind of omen, or whether a bird trumps a rainbow, or implying that birds and rainbows are bad things to associate with a campaign rally? The OP just said there was a rainbow - I don't think anyone claimed this means Elizabeth Warren is The One.

And so what if someone finds it vaguely inspiring? We need all the inspiration we can find in this dark time. We're all basically on the same side here, right?

I grew up in a religion that said there will be no rainbows for a year before Jesus returns. I find attributing anything to them since very silly.

They are pretty though.
