Here's what you need to know about one of Hillary Clinton's potential vice presidential candidates. (Sarah Parnass, Osman Malik/The Washington Post)

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was spotted being dropped off at Clinton's home and remained there for about an hour, according to CNN and NBC News. A person familiar with that meeting confirmed that Warren did meet with Clinton.

The same networks reported that Clinton also met at her home with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, whose name has been less prominent on Clinton's list of potential running mates. Clinton also met with Hickenlooper while campaigning in Denver late last month, and he later told reporters that the vice presidential search "briefly" came up.

Clinton's campaign confirmed late Friday that she held meetings regarding regarding a running mate but did not publicly discuss contenders. The former secretary of state was seen leaving her home around 5:40 p.m., by which time the meetings had apparently wrapped up..........................

This is so exciting!




Look how much Elizabeth Warren is smiling. No matter what the reason, we can count on her to be a strong ally.

I really wanted Warren to stay in the Senate at first, but now I will be a little bit heartbroken if she doesn't get the VP slot.

The enthusiasm and just the sheer effort that she has thrown into campaigning with and for Hillary has been remarkable. I can't think of any other way to reward it.

I know that the Clinton campaign will pick the best person for the job and I've been #withher from the beginning, but I've fallen in love with the idea of Warren as the VP.

The ears kind of go "what?"
I guess we would get used to it. He is the governor of a battleground state, so that is great.
Can't wait to find out who it will be!
