Vetting Vp Picks. Trump and Clinton Pursue Diversity
Trump weighs a handful of political veterans for vice president as he leans toward Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie, Jeff Sessions, or Mike Pence while avoiding women or minorities for diversity reasons. Clinton targets a well prepared running mate, prioritizing diversity with contenders like Elizabeth Warren, Julian Castro, Tim Kaine, Cory Booker, and others, with James Hamilton directing her process and inputs from Podesta and Mills.

Clinton and Obama to campaign together in Charlotte
The pair plan a first joint 2016 event in North Carolina signaling a push to expand into a key battleground. The state’s diverse electorate and women’s influence boost Clinton’s path to the White House amid GOP efforts on discrimination and restroom policies. Foxx calls North Carolina a classic battleground with a progressive history under threat. The event follows Clinton’s FBI email interview, a potential distraction as Democrats weigh about a dozen battleground states from 2012 contests.
