Elizabeth
Warren was at Hillary Clinton's house Friday during a series of
meetings in which Clinton reviewed her running mate options.
The
Massachusetts senator left the house an hour after her car dropped her
off at the stately home on Whitehaven Street near Dupont Circle, in
Northwest Washington, D.C.
Clinton
is meeting with people Friday at her home to go over her running mate
selection process, a source familiar with the process said.
Cars
were seen going in and out of the house, with occupants entering
through a protected garage. Warren's was the fourth car to arrive at the
home.
Campaign chairman John
Podesta, who is heading Clinton's VP vetting process, and campaign vice
chair Huma Abedin were also in the house during the time of the meeting.
Warren,
a liberal stalwart known for championing issues related to economic
inequality, is on Clinton's short list of possible vice presidential
picks, according to Democrats familiar with the process. The Clinton
campaign is aware that Warren's addition to the ticket could galvanize
the left wing of the Democratic Party, particularly supporters of
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, her primary competitor.
But
Warren has been seen as an unlikely pick to Democrats inside and
outside Clinton's campaign, in part because the two don't know each
other well and there are concerns that Warren -- a darling with the left
-- could overshadow the top of the ticket.
Clinton
and Warren campaigned together for the first time in 2016 in Cincinnati
last month. The two, according to aides, also met over coffee before
that campaign stop.
