Sen. Cory Booker said Thursday that he is not being vetted as a potential running mate for Hillary Clinton, after a Wall Street Journal report named the New Jersey Democrat as one of several under consideration.

"I am hearing much more from media folks like you asking me these questions. It’s flattering and everything like that, but I’m not being vetted," Booker said on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."


Booker said he would continue to campaign and act as a surrogate through the election.

"Nobody is asking you for your tax returns or any of your other personal data?" Mitchell pressed.

Booker responded, "The only time I get asked from my personal data is my credit card number when I’m trying to buy lunch.”
