Sen. Warner said he's not in the running to be Hillary Clinton's vice president
U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, whom pundits have often put on the short list of possible vice presidential candidates being considered by Hillary Clinton, said Thursday he’s not in the running.
“I’m not being vetted. I don’t expect to be vetted,” the Virginia Democrat said in a phone interview.
Instead, Warner said, he wants Clinton to choose a fellow Virginian, Sen. Tim Kaine.
“I’ve known Tim for 35 years. I think he’s got bipartisan appeal,” Warner said, noting that Kaine has “really shown his chops” in his forceful arguments over the proper use of the military and his demands that Congress vote on the use of American forces against the Islamic State group.
