Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection, 2016

This article lists potential candidates for the Democratic nomination for Vice President of the United States in the 2016 election. The 2016 Democratic nominee for president will choose his or her running mate at some point in 2016.

Selection process

By April 2016, Hillary Clinton had begun discussions with advisers and allies regarding her potential running mate, though Bernie Sanders continued to challenge her in the Democratic primaries.[1] According to campaign sources, Clinton does not have a particular running mate in mind, and does not feel pressured to pick a running mate designed specifically to appeal to Sanders supporters.[1] As the 2016 Republican National Convention takes place roughly one week before the July 25-28 Democratic National Convention, the Democratic presidential nominee will likely be able to choose his or her running mate after the Republicans nominate their own ticket.[1] Clinton's running mate selection process is likely to be led by campaign chairman John Podesta.[1] There has been relatively little public discussion about Sanders's running mate selection process.[2]
