Sanders campaign co-chair floats Warren for VP slot

By Quint Forgey 4 hrs ago

Rep. Ro Khanna, a national campaign co-chair for Bernie Sanders, on Friday called Elizabeth Warren "an outstanding choice" to become Sanders' running mate should he capture the Democratic presidential nomination.
 
The California Democrat told MSNBC he would "absolutely" advise Sanders to name a woman as his vice presidential pick, and singled out the Vermont senator's colleague from Massachusetts when asked who specifically he would recommend.

"Maybe Sen. Warren," Khanna said. "I mean, I've said Senator Warren would be an outstanding choice. There will be other outstanding choices."

The words of praise from the top Sanders campaign official come after Warren declined to immediately endorse another candidate after dropping out of the Democratic primary Thursday — further irking some Sanders supporters who argued that she siphoned progressive voters from Sanders on Super Tuesday.

First woman VP would be a nice consolation prize to losing first woman President.  It would certainly motivate some rat voters, and perhaps even more women LIVs.

Do the rats have a VP candidate that does more for the Sanders or Biden ticket?

Definitely not, although I didn't think Carly was such a good choice to begin with.

Warren ticks two boxes, woman and Native-American/POC.
