Hillary Clinton Says She's Looking Beyond Politicians in VP Search
“I think we should look widely and broadly,” she said Sunday.
— -- Hillary Clinton says she’s looking beyond just politicians as she begins her search for a potential running mate.
“I think we should look widely and broadly,” the Democratic presidential candidate exclaimed on “Meet the Press” Sunday when asked about her vice presidential search. "It’s not just people in elective office. It is successful businesspeople. I am very interested in that.”
“I think that is the best way to find somebody who can really capture what’s needed in the country, and businesspeople have — especially successful businesspeople who are really successful, as opposed to pretend successful — I think, have a lot to offer,” she added, making a dig at real estate mogul turned Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
To date, Clinton has remained relatively mum about her VP search.
When asked during an interview on CNN last week if she would consider Bernie Sanders for the role, she didn’t engage.
“I won’t get into that,” Clinton said. “That’s something down the road.”
