Hillary is going to have to get someone to the left of her as a running mate, and Warren would excite a lot of people who would otherwise not vote for her at the top of a ticket, especially in a non-swing state.

As someone else pointed out above me, Warren would be pretty old by 2024, but who says that Hillary wants two full terms as President? She may just want to make history as the first female one, and let it go at that.
