Despite the hopes of Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders‘ supporters that presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would take their candidate as her vice presidential running mate, that is not going to happen. According to a Wall Street Journal reported published on Wednesday, June 15, 2016, Clinton is not even vetting Sanders as a possible running mate. Instead, she is seriously considering Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is popular with the liberal base.

For the past month or so, Clinton has evaded questions about possibly adding to her ticket Sanders, who won 22 primaries this season and had a huge supporter base. Again, Clinton responded vaguely about Sanders in an interview with Telemundo on Tuesday, June 14. Clinton answered, “I haven’t even begun to sort all that out.” The presumptive nominee continued by saying, “There are a lot of really qualified, dynamic candidates, I’m sure, to be considered for vice president.”

The Wall Street Journal spoke to “people familiar with the process.” They revealed the vetting process is in the early stages, and whom Clinton is considering for the position. Besides Warren, the shortlist includes, “Labor Secretary Tom Perez; Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro; Sens. Tim Kaine of Virginia, Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Cory Booker of New Jersey; Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, and Reps. Xavier Becerra of California and Tim Ryan of Ohio.” Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta is heading the VP search, and longtime Clinton adviser, aide, and lawyer Cheryl Mills are also advising on the VP vetting.

Sanders’ supporters were hoping considering the Vermont Senator garnered over 1,800 pledged delegates in the primaries that Clinton would consider him as her running mate to appease party progressives and voters in an attempt to unify the party. Sanders, however, is not expecting a call from Clinton on the position, neither supposedly does he necessarily want to be Clinton’s VP. Instead, Sanders is remaining in the Democratic race looking to influence and shape the party’s platform at the Democratic National Convention this month.

Clinton and Sanders met on Tuesday before the last primary in Washington, DC, which Clinton won. Afterward, Sanders’ campaign spokesman Michael Briggs issued a statement saying the two Democratic candidates had “a positive discussion about how best to bring more people into the political process and about the dangerous threat that Donald Trump poses to our nation.”

Briggs listed the issues Sanders wants to influence in the platform, and they were discussed during the Sanders Clinton meeting. Briggs mentioned, “Substantially raising the minimum wage; real campaign finance reform; making health care universal and accessible; making college affordable and reducing student debt.” The statement concluded, saying, “Sanders and Clinton agreed to continue working to develop a progressive agenda that addresses the needs of working families and the middle class and adopting a progressive platform for the Democratic National Convention.”

Sanders is also looking to change party nomination rules, particular advocating the end of superdelegates. Sanders has been campaigning for a change of Democratic National Committee leadership, and the removal of Florida rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for the chairman post. Sanders said, “We need a person at the leadership of the DNC, who is vigorously supporting and out working to bring people into the political process.”

Sanders also wanted two other Democrats removed from their leadership posts at the convention, particularly, Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, who co-chairs the Platform Committee, and former Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, co-chairman of the Rules Committee. The DNC refused the request. Sanders has argued their bias towards him because they have criticized him in the past.

Sanders plans to address his supporters via video live-stream on Thursday evening, June 16. Sanders, however, has no plans to drop out of the race on Thursday. Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs clarified to Bloomberg News that the Vermont Senator has no plans to drop out “today, or tomorrow, or the next day.” Continuing Briggs reiterated, Sanders “has said that he plans to stay in this through the Democratic convention.”
