Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumElizabeth Warren gives a non answer to VP question.
Elizabeth Warren is declining to say whether she would consider running on the Democratic ticket with Hillary Clinton, insisting instead that shes focused on her current job and that Democrats still have to get all of our nominations settled.
Asked during an interview with Mic whether or not she would consider serving as Hillary Clintons vice president, Warren demurred, saying I love my job. Im here in the United States Senate doing exactly what the people of Massachusetts sent me here to do.
This is something weve got to get all of our nominations settled on the Democratic side, she added. For me, Im going to keep doing my job every single day and Im not thinking about another job.
Warren added that she has not spoken to Clinton recently.

That's the kind of answer given when you're not ruling out a VP selection.

(9,148 posts)I've recieved mailers & emails with her endorsement for DSCC.
DSCC and Emily's List, who is busy electing Dem women to the Senate & House.
Warren is a very much engaged in downticket Dems.
I believe her when she says " weve got to get all of our nominations settled on the Democratic side"
Kudos to Warren

She can come on strong for Clinton once she seals down the nomination and the probability of a Sanders win is 0%.
That'll help bring the Progressives into the fold, and she may very well be or have been in communication with Clinton regarding that. I would expect Sherrod Brown to help, although he declared for Clinton in October 2015.
It's also wise to hold back some supers so you pass the delegate majority and the win majority using supers at the same time--as opposed to reaching it with supers first. Everything seals down at the same moment, without any question.
I expect many supers to declare for her just post June 14th when it's all over but the crying.
