For Clinton, Warren poses a historic choice for running mate

Now that we have an entire GOP presidential ticket along with an unfortunate-looking campaign logo, all eyes are on who Hillary Clinton will be choosing as a running mate – especially after another meeting with Elizabeth Warren at Clinton’s home on Friday. Campaign chair John Podesta and vice chair Huma Abedin were among the Clinton aides who spent the day at her home.

Late last month, the Democratic governor said he “briefly” spoke with the former secretary of State about her search for a vice presidential candidate while Clinton was in Denver.

According to the Times, it’s “an apparent sign that [Warren] will not be named Hillary Clinton’s running mate”.

As well as Warren, a favorite of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and Housing Secretary Julian Castro met separately with the presumptive Democratic nominee, according to the people, who asked for anonymity to discuss the private talks. For Clinton, the Pence selection offered clarity on the composition of the Trump ticket and certainty of whom her eventual running mate will meet in a fall debate. Elizabeth Warren wants her to know she’s very available for a top teaching gig – with some lessons from her duels with Donald Trump.

Warren was omitted Friday from the list of candidates set to speak at the upcoming Democratic convention in Philadelphia. Bernie Sanders during the primaries. She campaigned with Virginia Sen.

Clinton and Warren campaigned together for the first time in 2016 in Cincinnati last month.

On Thursday, Clinton campaigned in Northern Virginia with Sen.

Clinton is leaning toward announcing her decision immediately after the Republican convention ends on July 21. But that still doesn’t mean a vice presidential pick has been made, the sources said. “That’s the most important qualification”.
