Apparently the Washington Post and AP want to move Xavier to the second tier of picks, but it’s fine, it’ll just make it more exciting if and when he is selected as the nominee for Vice President, after all.
CNN: Clinton has not yet conducted formal interviews, but has devoted hours studying the records and backgrounds of several Democrats on a list that includes Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro of Texas.
But those three should not be seen as absolute finalists, several Democrats said, only as active contenders. The roster also may include Labor Secretary Tom Perez, Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Rep. Xavier Beccera of California.
UPDATE: Becerra was on Morning Joe this morning as well. I’ve added that video, too.
UPDATE2: Tweet from Clinton’s meeting with House Democratic Caucus this morning.
UPDATE3: Becerra led a press conference after the Dems meeting where both Clyburn and Crowley responded to questions, saying they through Becerra would make a great VP and should be vetted.
