Did Biden Tell Sanders He Will Choose Warren as VP? [View all]

So we know they had a meeting where the subject of VP came up.

We know that the Democratic Party wants democracy which means the large progressive contingent should not be made irrelevant, but instead have proportional or due influence. Not UNDUE influence.

We know Sanders and Biden don't want people out of their homes voting in the primary which is why Sanders asked that the Wisconsin primary be postponed.

We know Biden said he'd name a female VP. We know Warren is very energizing.

We know the Biden campaign wants Sanders out now but also needs unity in the Party.

Is it possible Biden told Sanders he has chosen Warren and Warren agreed?

Personally, I could really get behind a Biden Warren ticket.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
