Hillary Clinton’s campaign is officially vetting Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as a potential running mate, according to a Thursday Wall Street Journal report.

The popular, progressive Massachusetts senator, known for her strong stance on Wall Street regulation and skill at landing punches against Donald Trump, has long been floated as a smart choice vice presidential pick for the more centrist Democrat.

Warren endorsed Clinton last week after she secured the number of votes needed to clinch the Democratic nomination, and both have expressed eagerness at working together if the former secretary of state becomes president. The two met last Friday at Clinton’s home in Washington, DC, fueling rumors of a two-woman ticket.

The vetting has for now been limited to scrutinizing publicly available information, according to the Journal, and candidates have not yet been asked to submit tax returns or other personal information.
