Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown dodged questions on whether he is interested in becoming Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running mate.
“I’ve read those reports the same ways you have, and I heard she’s going to Florida to make the announcement with the vice president,” Brown said in a Wednesday morning interview on CNN.
Brown is said to be on a short list of potential vice presidential picks, alongside Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine. Clinton is expected to announce her running mate Friday from Florida.
“I have no idea. I don’t talk about this. I have not talked about this from the beginning. I am not talking about vice president, no matter how you ask it,” Brown said.
When asked who he would like to see Clinton pick from a longer list — one that includes New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Labor Secretary Tom Perez, Ohio Gov. John Hickenlooper and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack — Brown again dodged.
“Nice try,” he responded. “There is a chance that might be right, there is a chance it isn’t.”
