Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton will meet privately Friday morning, according to two knowledgeable Democrats.

The sit-down, coming just hours after the Massachusetts senator formally endorsed the presumptive Democratic nominee, will fuel speculation about her prospects as a potential vice presidential pick.

The women have had several conversations over the past month, including one that lasted around half an hour, sources told The Washington Post. The conversations were broad and focused on large topics and issues, rather than the nitty-gritty of the campaign. Their staffs have been engaged in more tactical discussions.

The two women do not have a particularly deep relationship, but that could change as Clinton rallies Democrats around her in the wake of winning the Democratic nomination in recent days. There were three big endorsements that could have meaningfully helped Clinton wrap up the nomination battle: Warren, President Obama and Vice President Biden. Clinton secured all three on Thursday.

I would also hate to lose Warren from the Senate. I hope that they will agree to make a joint announcement that EW will stay in the senate and that they plan to partner on all kinds of great legislation.
EW is only a year or so younger than Hillary and would be too old to run in 2020. We need someone in her/his 40, Latino/Latina or Asian. We need to pass the torch to the GenXers (Obama is a baby boomer whether he likes it or not) and keep up the diversity.

From the article:

Republicans take Warren very seriously, and a constellation of groups attacked her when news of her endorsement broke. Both the Republican National Committee and American Crossroads called Warren a “sellout."


In other words, they are >>>terrified<<< of Warren!

Warren was excellent last nigh! Fired Up.
