Elizabeth Warren likely ruled out of Clinton VP position
- 8 years ago
In an apparent sign that Senator Elizabeth Warren will not be named Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Warren was invited by Clinton’s campaign to deliver a prime-time address on the first night of the Democratic convention this month - a prime speaking slot but one that is earlier than vice-presidential picks typically appear.
Democrats briefed on the invitation to Warren cautioned that Clinton has not yet made a decision about a running mate and Warren’s invitation did not preclude her from being tapped as a VP nominee.
Clinton’s meetings with the remaining VP candidates are continuing, including meetings with Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, Representative Xavier Becerra of California, Julian Castro and Tom Perez of Obama’s cabinet, and James G. Stavridis, a retired four-star Navy admiral.
