Warren: If Biden asked me to be VP, I would say yes

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Wednesday that she would agree to running as vice president on the Democratic ticket with presumptive presidential candidate Joe Biden. Asked by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow what she would say if the former vice president asked her to be his running mate, Warren said she would say yes.

The comments come just hours after Warren endorsed Biden, her former primary opponent, in the race. Warren expanded on her endorsement Wednesday during her interview with Maddow, praising Biden for his empathy that she said would be beneficial in leading the country, especially amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Warren has been floated as a possible running mate for Biden, who has already pledged to choose a female running mate. Warren was among the last of Biden's former presidential primary opponents to endorse him in the race.

Biden said he is considering somewhere between six and 10 candidates for the slot, but it’s unclear if that list includes Warren.
