Set, editor in chief of the hill. Com, part of cspans road to the white house coverage. Lets look at the democrats and potential running mates for Hillary Clinton. Your past week, her nine most likely vp picks. Top on the list, a Lisbeth Moran of massachusetts Elizabeth Warren of massachusetts. Should not endorse Hillary Clinton in the primary process. Partyuld really unite the and it would be historic with Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren on the ticket. Was the only email democratic senator. Who did not endorse Hillary Clinton during the primary im sure the clinton camp does remember that. There are negatives that massachusetts is clearly going to the democrats. It does not help you on a statewide, electoral vote count. ,t could be portrayed as republicans have put out some week documents that portray a very liberal ticket. Warren could outshine Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail. I think that she is being discussed, there are reports that she is being vetted. Another candidate is tim kaine from virginia. He is a former governor, dnc chair who speaks spanish. He is interested. He has also. Questions about being he has also dodged questions about being vetted. For trump, there are fewer candidates being discussed, and i think that in all likelihood, Hillary Clinton will go with a more safe pick and someone that she trusts and that will not be questioning her. Elizabeth warren has questioned some of the policies that Hillary Clinton has pursued in the senate, including bankruptcy reform. Kaine andrren warren are two contenders. There is a republican governor in ohio, so if Elizabeth Warren were selected, there is a possibility you could lose that senate seat. A big problem for harry reid and he said he does not want that situation. He backtracked on the massachusetts element to some degree, but the senate is up for harry reid once the leaves of he can get the majority to his successor, likely senator chuck schumer, and if you get a seat away, maybe you can win it back, but after ted kennedy died, everyone thought a democrat would succeed him, and senator brown, who ended up losing to warren, took his seat and it took and it shocked the public. You never know in public in politics. T is why jerry brown senator cory booker downpreme court striking bob mcdonald in virginia, that clears the path for either it in the case over or another trial for the governor, but also the reporting of tim kaine receiving gift as Lieutenant Governor and governor. How big a problem is that . It is a problem because it is bad headlines. He did nothing illegal. Virginia has lax roles when it comes to accepting gifts, and he reported it all. It is coming out as a big deal because he could be on the ticket. Going to have to explain it, repeatedly. s office put out a report saying he did nothing wrong and went beyond the normal transparent transparency by revealing every gift he received. Picked, is donald trump going to talk about that . Absolutely. , a senator from new jersey, africanamerican, there are some people out there in the political world who say that the hispanic vote is very important, but the africanamerican vote is more important and other clinton did very well among africanamerican voters who helped her beat bernie sanders. She will need africanamerican voters in the fall against donald trump, and booker would help. As we said, he would be replaced by a republican. Tom perez is the labor secretary, he is respected by liberals. Business officials are not so crazy about him. He does not have a lot of experience as far as foreign policy. I do not think he is going to be picked. This is a strike against liz Elizabeth Warren. On foreignpolicy experience, their resumes are thin, and she has stressed her experience, so i think he would be inconsistent for her to say i have the experience, but a running mate not so much. That perez is unlikely to be selected. The congressman from california. He has been in congress for a while and is a very gregarious guy. It if jeb bush or marco rubio were the nominee, i think that he or maybe perez could be picked. I dont think you need to pick a hispanic because Donald Trumps numbers are so low, and he is going to be driving a lot of hispanics to the polls. Mix,nk the sarah is in the but at the same time, Hillary Clinton is going to be looking more toward kaine. Airingwe are interview with a senator in minnesota. Al franken said he is interested. I think it is refreshing when they say that, and the senior senator from minnesota, they also got mentioned. The senior senator from minnesota also got mentioned. He would be a unusual pick for Hillary Clinton because of his past. When he came to the senate, he was not talking to national press, he was only talking to local press. He immersed himself in policy. He was the funny guy and he did not he wanted to be a workhorse. Byrd gave advice to not be a show horse, be a workhorse and that is what al franken did. He garnered the respect of his colleagues on capitol hill. Is it a pretty safe assumption that Hillary Clinton will make her take known after the Republican Convention . Know by then, and they will say when can we do it . Maybe you want to steal some thunder from the Republican Convention. Days, newsbreaks so quickly on twitter, social media, so you want to maximize, and i taking it from the republicans or am i creating my own moment . You will not be able to keep a secret all the way through the convention and have this person come out on stage. That is not going to happen. You have to get the buttons ready, you have to think the plane paint the plane. We will know the other person on the ticket, days before the convention. Maybe a week or so. Typical to those who know and are not talking and those who do not know and are talking a lot. People are very tightlipped on this, as they should be, you have to protect secrets, they do not want anything to get out there that they do not want. This is a very important picked for the democrats because this is the next pick for the democrats because this is the next star. Loses, butclinton rim of tim kaine, you would have to call him the front runner to run in 2020. Donald trump is such a unorthodox developing candidate, but on the democrat side, this person is going to be an instant star of the future. The maneuvering, that is why it is so important. Unlike the republican side, democrats want to be on the ticket. They know that this could lead them to become president , themselves. He or she would have to deal with bill clinton as well. Hillaryid that has said that she wants bill to take the lead on the economy. I think he would be the liaison the capitol hill. One of the criticisms from president obama was that he did not make it enough to fellow democrats. I think bill clinton would love to do that, but you are right, that would be tension between tech and clinton and his staff. Is the country ready for an allfemale ticket . I think so, more than ever. I have seen political cartoons, one in particular where they had to operatives saying the country is not ready death cooperatives saying the countrys not ready for two meant to be on the ticket and a caption is, things that have men toeen said two be on the ticket and a caption says, things that have never been said. The voters are the ones who will have the final say. We sat down with a senator two years ago. Of first what hersh what are your strengths, weaknesses, what could she bring . Her strength is that you cannot pinpoint her as a liberal democrat or a conservative. She is in the middle of the caucus. She was appearing at the congressional Correspondents Dinner where you have one republican and one democrat and she was quite funny. She is definitely interested, 2013 to iowa in 2014, she was not going to challenge Hillary Clinton, but she laid the groundwork to run in either 2020, or 2024. She is respected by her colleagues, she is an average areon and not many senators everyday people who can laugh at themselves, and she has not gotten into a lot of controversy on capitol hill. I think a lot of women are interested in succeeding Hillary Clinton whether she 6 whether she wins or not. You will see her at some point in her career running for president. From january of 2014, part of cspans american profile series, the interview is available on our website at cspan. Org. You first think about running for elected office . My first office was in high school when i was on the student council, and back then, the girls did not really run for class president , but i was the secretarytreasurer of the High School Class and my claim to fame was that i coordinated the likes a relied pop drive to raise money for the high school prom. It may not have been a major ideological battle, but i did not have enough money for the prom and i was able to raise enough for that hotel. Juniors failed in their job and we had to have it in a Shopping Mall in minnesota, and we danced around the fountain and my date went the fountain with someone else, so that was likely not the end of my political career, but it was the first time i ran for office. Andt involved in politics, i said the defining moment for waso run for a major office when our daughter was born and she was very thick and could not swallow. Theys in a time when have that insurance rule in place for you could only stand the hospital for 24 hours as a mother, and she was sick, she was in intensive care, and i got kicked out after being up all night with her. She was in the hospital quite a while. I worked with legislators and testified for a bill that was one of the first bills in the country that guaranteed new moms and their babies a 48 hour hospital stay. After that, i was hooked that you could get something done and i took on some of the ones trying to slow it down by bringing six pregnant women to the Conference Committee because they were trying to have it take place later and they outnumbered one twots to to to one. Your daughter is how old, now . She is 18 years old and doing great. She had a really rough first few years and was fed through stomach tubes for the first year, and then got better and better and is an incredible girl who did very well in school and we are pretty proud of her. You became county attorney and one of the things you worked on was to make sure that drunk driving was a felony. Why was that an issue . Minnesota was one of the few states where it was not a felony
