Reed: ‘No Interest’ in Being Veep

Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) said Monday that he has “no interest” in being Barack Obama’s vice presidential pick.

“There are people that are spending a lot of time, one, looking for candidates, and…trying to promote themselves as candidates,” Reed told the AP. “And I’m in neither category.”

Reed said the Obama campaign has not contacted him to be vetted.

Reed, along with fellow frequent veep mention Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), will accompany Obama on a coming trip to Iraq and Afghanistan.
