WASHINGTON (AP) – Hillary Clinton summoned contenders to become her running mate to her Washington home on Friday as she closes in on a pick for vice president.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper were seen in separate cars departing the former secretary of state’s home on Friday afternoon.
A person familiar with the process said Clinton also met with Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro at her home. The person would only speak on condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting.
The meetings came a day after the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee campaigned alongside another contender, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, in northern Virginia.
A small group of Clinton campaign confidants have reviewed publicly available information about the potential contenders for more than a month. The in-person meetings come less than two weeks before Clinton formally accepts her party’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
