The Massachusetts Senator is slotted to speak the first night of the convention this month – a likely indication that, despite much speculation, she will not be Hillary Clinton’s running mate. The person would speak only on condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting.

Clinton was joined by campaign chairman John Podesta and vice chairwoman Huma Abedin. Several vehicles with tinted windows entered through a gate near the home during the daylong session.
The Clinton campaign is continuing to vet potential running mates, including New Jersey U.S. Sen.
Clinton also met behind closed doors Friday with Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, another potential running mate, according to two other people familiar with the meetings.
On Thursday, Clinton campaigned in Northern Virginia with Sen.
The Massachusetts senator left the house an hour after her auto dropped her off at the stately home on Whitehaven Street near Dupont Circle, in Northwest Washington, D.C.

Clinton is thought to be in the final stages of picking a vice presidential candidate. She’s a gleeful Donald Trump taunter and an enthusiastic ambassador to the party’s liberal base. Bernie Sanders, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton and the VP pick – and potentially more. But news of the former Harvard professor’s prime time assignation at the DNC has many speculating Warren has been precluded from the ticket. The second-term governor founded a brewpub in Denver in 1988 and later became the city’s mayor and was instrumental in luring the 2008 Democratic National Convention to the Mile High City. He would bring a Western presence to the ticket and offer a small businessman’s appeal to the ticket.
