Sen Elizabeth Warren addresses the crowd as Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton looks on during a campaign rally at the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal June 27, in Cincinnati, Ohio. | Getty Warren on VP decision: 'If it were me, I would know it by now, so probably not'

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren would not appear to be holding her breath when it comes to Hillary Clinton's vice presidential selection, which could come as soon as Friday.

Appearing in a cold open sketch for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the host stopped by Warren's greenroom marked with a "VIP" sign on the door.


"Hey, I have to ask: Is there any chance that I could announce on my show tonight that you are Hillary's VP pick?" he asked. "Because that would be pretty huge news for me to break!"

Warren responded, “Stephen, I think if it were me, I would know it by now. So probably not. But look, she’s got lots of good choices and I’m excited about seeing who she’s going to pick.”

"Fair enough," Colbert said in the pre-recorded segment. But after Warren closed the door, Colbert removed the "I" from the "VIP" sign, leaving only the two letters denoting shorthand for vice president.

Clinton is set to appear at a roundtable Friday morning in Orlando, Florida, with a rally scheduled for later in the afternoon in Tampa and another Saturday morning in Miami. Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine is reportedly the leading pick for the job, with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack the other top contender. Warren met with Clinton last Friday at her home in Washington, as did Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro.
