Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., stopped short of backing Vice President Harris as President Biden's 2024 running mate during an interview on Friday and said he should do what makes him "comfortable."

During an interview on Boston Public Radio, Warren was asked if Harris should be Biden's running mate.

"I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team," she responded. "I’ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala.

Warren was also asked if Biden should run again.

Warren said during an interview with Politico that she was "very happy" about Biden's re-election and said he would likely not face a primary challenge.
