Having virtually clinched the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton is in search of a “most qualified” vice presidential candidate in the run up to next month’s convention for November 8 election.
“I’m looking at the most qualified people, and that includes women, of course, because I want to be sure that whoever I pick could be president immediately if something were to happen — that’s the most important qualification,” Clinton told CNN in an interview Wednesday.
However, the former first lady and secretary of state did not specify a time when she will pick vice presidential nominee.
Meanwhile, she called Senator Bernie Sanders to congratulate him on running an extraordinary primary campaign and vowed to unify the Democratic Party, as all Democratic voters have the same goals.
She is likely to face Republican Donald Trump in the intense presidential race ahead.
On Thursday, President Barack Obama endorsed Clinton after a meeting with Sanders, as Democrats look to unify the Party in time for the fever pitch presidential campaign ahead.
But the million dollar question is who will be Clinton’s vice presidential choice.
Clinton’s primary win has triggered a series of speculations in the media.
On Thursday, NBC News channel listed some prospective candidates including Senator Sherrod Brown from Ohio, Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro, Senator Time Kaine from Virginia, Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota, Labor Secretary Tom Perez and Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts.
So will it be someone from that list? Or an unusual new name might come up in the unusual American political season?
