persisted
Didn't give up
Persisted is the past tense of persist, meaning to continue steadfastly despite obstacles or opposition.
Someone who persisted kept going when they might have stopped: She persisted until they finally listened.
The word gained political resonance from the phrase "Nevertheless, she persisted," describing Senator Elizabeth Warren's refusal to stop speaking during a 2017 debate.
