Hillary Clinton is reportedly meeting privately today with Elizabeth Warren

Hillary Clinton and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are reportedly meeting at Clinton's home in Washington, D.C., on Friday morning, just hours after Warren endorsed Clinton for president. Clinton has already said she is certain Warren is "qualified" to serve as her running mate, and their meeting adds to speculation that Clinton is considering Warren for vice president. Though the two aren't particularly close, The Washington Post reports that they have had "several conversations over the past month" and their staffs "have been engaged in more tactical discussions."
Warren has also expressed confidence in her capability to serve as VP. During a Thursday night interview on The Rachel Maddow Show, Warren said that she is certain she would be able to step up to the plate if, as Maddow put it, "God forbid, something happened to the commander in chief."
Clinton's camp declined The Washington Post's request for comment on the meeting.
