Democratic senators expect Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) will soon make moves to mollify restive liberals and unify the Democratic Party behind Hillary Clinton.
Several Democratic senators say they have approached Warren about the role she can play, insisting she is best positioned to mend the schism between the Clinton and Bernie Sanders wings of the party.
Warren has a loyal following among the more liberal Democrats who favor Sanders. She has told colleagues she will play the role of peacemaker, but not until after the last major round of primaries on June 7.
“I think Elizabeth can and will be very helpful,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), a Clinton backer who spoke to Warren on Wednesday.
“She is very interested, at least in my conversations with her, in doing everything she can to help get the party to unite for November,” she added.
Warren and her office declined requests to comment.
Shaheen expressed hope that Warren would attend and act as a unifying figure at the New Hampshire Democratic convention that is scheduled for June 18.
Democrats fear Sanders supporters might provoke more disruptions, such as occurred last weekend at the Nevada Democratic convention, which devolved into shouting matches and chaos.
Another Democratic senator who has spoken to Warren and requested anonymity to discuss their interaction said, “We’ve got to land this plane and I want her in the control tower.”
“She’s trying. I think she’s an honest broker,” the lawmaker added.
But there’s some doubt about whether Clinton’s inner circle will welcome Warren, who was once seen as a rival for the nomination, into the role of party unifier.
“The question is whether the interior of the Clinton campaign is willing to trust her,” the Democratic senator said.
