Kaine, Brown, Perez on Clinton’s list of possible VPs: report
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign is considering a list of names to be her running-mate, according to a New York Times report.
Among those reportedly being considered: Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, and Labor Secretary Tom Perez.
{mosads}And Clinton is open to choosing a woman running-mate, the report said. Many Democrats have speculated that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who is very popular in the party, would be a good fit for the VP role.
Clinton is likely to make her decision soon after the Republican ticket is known.
Advisers believe her options may expand if GOP front-runner Donald Trump receives the party’s nomination, because she leads Trump by so much in polls.
“She will have a lot more flexibility in picking a running mate if the Republican nominee is Donald Trump rather than Ted Cruz, who appears a much closer contest for her,” former Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) told the Times.
