The article doesn’t say she is to be his candidate here is a quote:

“It was just an opening conversation and it’s not something that I would call a professional formalized vetting,” she added.

It just tells us what we already knew; she is in his short list.

I’d love for her to be chosen. Serve her right getting molested the rest of the campaign season after the way she has treated us.

I’m sure that she’ll be fine with it if it gets her more power which seems to be all she cares about.
