Democrats see Hillary Clinton-Elizabeth Warren dream ticket [View all]

[cal04]

Democrats are openly pulling for Hillary Clinton to pick Elizabeth Warren as her running mate.

Amid concerns that supporters of Bernie Sanders will stay home on Election Day, writes the Hill, a number of Democrats see a Clinton-Warren alliance as an all-woman dream team capable of igniting enthusiasm in the progressive base. Jamal Simmons, a Democratic strategist, told the Hill the longer Sanders stays in the race, the more likely Clinton will select Massachusetts Sen. Warren. He said Warren “solves so many problems: enthusiasm, women, young liberals, older white liberals.” The Hill writes Clinton insiders have been asked about their thoughts on Warren, among other possible vice presidential picks.

It would also eliminate the pro-Wall Street storyline that has haunted Clinton’s campaign throughout the primary season, Clinton allies believe.

Democratic strategist and presidential campaign veteran Jamal Simmons said the longer Sanders stays in the race, the more likely Clinton will select Warren.
