Cortez Masto, 56, was one of the highest-profile Latinas believed to be on Biden’s shortlist of potential running mates. Some activists had suggested she could have helped Biden win over Hispanics whose support could be crucial to winning the presidency in November. Cortez Masto had demurred in the past about whether she’d be interested in serving as Biden’s running mate, saying that it was flattering to be considered but that she was focused on her role in the Senate. Biden has committed to picking a female running mate and has been notably public about the women he is considering. Another name being batted around as a potential VP candidate is Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
