I don't think it's very likely, he doesn't have the necessary skills and it's not like he has some devout following that she'll need after being elected. In my opinion, Russ Feingold would be a great option for her.

I'm personally convinced that Warren would choose Bullock as her running mate. That would raise the voter participation among white men, but African Americans could not be bothered to go attend the voting booths, especially if Booker will have been one of her biggest opponents in the primaries. There's a reason why Obama chose Clinton as his Secretary of State (which she now bitterly regrets in hindsight.)

Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, Anne Marie-Slaughter, James Rubin, or Jonathan Finer are all far more likely.

No. Why would she do that?

I could see him as her running mate though, unless he's toxic to the left.

Sure, Obama picked his primary rival Hillary Clinton as SoS, but she actually seemed to care about foreign policy.  Booker doesn't.  Yes, he sits on the Foreign Relations Committee, but it seems like he's just going through the motions, because sitting on either the Foreign Relations Committee or Armed Services Committee is something that you do before you run for president.  Same applies to most of the other 2020ers, like Warren and Gillibrand.  Foreign policy doesn't seem to be much of a priority for them, yet they've got to sit on the right committees in order to get "national security experience" before their presidential runs.

I guess the one 2020er in the Senate who does seem to care about foreign policy is Chris Murphy, so if Warren (or any other potential Dem. nominee) really wants to pick a Secretary of State who ran in the primaries, he's an option.

Tulsi Gabbard also cares about foreign policy, but I'm guessing that she won't make the list.  Tongue
