Though Elizabeth Warren has high-profile boosters and polls well as a potential Joe Biden running mate, the fallout from her run-in with Bernie Sanders has dampened enthusiasm within the progressive movement for her as a VP choice
The interviews underscored that the left does not have a consensus vice presidential favorite as the movement lumbers around without a clear leader in the aftermath of Sanders’ loss.
Sanders himself is not actively pushing Biden to pick a particular person for his No. 2, according to an aide to the Vermont senator. Asked onFriday how his supporters would feel if Biden picked Warren, Sanders did not take the opportunity to explicitly advocate for her. It’s not assured that Sanders or any of the groups' opinions would influence Biden's decision. But Biden has shown a willingness to move left to shore up support among progressives and young people, among whom he lost badly in the primary, adopting several liberal plans in recent weeks and forming policy task forces with Sanders.
