Hillary Clinton has been meeting with likely candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Axios and CNN reported Friday, citing sources close to the former presidential candidate and secretary of state.
Among those she has met with so far are Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D), and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D). This "has been going on for months and will continue," Axios reports, "since Clinton will talk to any Democrat who wants to talk."
