Hillary Clinton's list of potential vice presidential picks may be getting shorter and shorter, but, Politico reports, there's one thing still holding her back: Donald Trump. Clinton reportedly wants to be absolutely certain that Trump will be the Republican presidential nominee before she makes any moves:
The selection process, however, is colored by new uncertainty among Democratic donors and Clinton allies who are no longer convinced that Donald Trump is sure to be the GOP nominee. A big advantage of holding their convention second, Democrats said, was being able to make a final pick with full knowledge of the GOP ticket.
At a fundraiser in Manhattan earlier this week, Clinton was peppered with questions from her top donors about whether there is any chance that the Republicans could nominate someone else — she said she thought the chances of that outcome were low. [Politico]
So, Clinton's vice presidential frontrunners, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, might be waiting until July 18 — the start of the Republican National Convention — to hear much of anything.
