House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California finally endorsed Hillary Clinton ahead of her state's primary on Tuesday, and even weighed in on the growing calls for the former secretary of state to choose Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as her running mate.

It would be "fabulous" for two women to be on the ticket, Pelosi said — though she hastened to note that the choice was Clinton's to make.


"Well, I'm a voter in California, and I have voted for Hillary Clinton for president of the United States and am proud to endorse her for that position," Pelosi said on ABC's "Good Morning America," hours after The Associated Press and television networks said Clinton had reached the necessary number of delegates to clinch the nomination. "But I hasten to say that it's not over till it's over. Californians haven't voted, nor have others in five states. So while the nomination may be there in the numbers in terms of superdelegates, I didn't endorse yet because I am a superdelegate and I think that the matter should be determined by the voters in the state."

Regarding the next steps for Clinton in the general election, Pelosi demurred when asked by ABC's George Stephanopoulos whether she would advocate Warren as Clinton's running mate.

"We've had two men over and over again for hundreds of years," Pelosi said. "I think that two women, whoever they may be, that would be fabulous as well, but Hillary Clinton will choose the person that she feels most comfortable with."

In a statement emailed to reporters, Pelosi praised Clinton's demonstrated "commitment to children, to working families and to a brighter future for America" while calling on Bernie Sanders and his supporters to bring their message under the party tent.

"In this campaign, we have seen her vision, her knowledge, her ability, indeed her stamina, to get the job done for the American people," Pelosi said in the statement.

"I congratulate and thank Senator Bernie Sanders for the great invigoration he is bringing to the presidential primary, and welcome the political and intellectual participation of his supporters to advance our shared fight for progress for the American people," she concluded.
