Hillary Clinton's team is vetting retired Adm. James Stavridis for vice presidential running mates, according to The New York Times.

Stavridis is a retired four-star Navy admiral who served as NATO's supreme allied commander in Europe.

That means Clinton and Donald Trump are considering vice presidents with a military background. Multiple outlets confirmed Trump is vetting retired three-star Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn as a potential vice president, among other potential picks, including Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

There's been a lot of speculation over whom Clinton may choose as her vice president. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is one name that's been thrown around.
Clinton is also reportedly vetting Rep. Xavier Becerra of California, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, among other names.
Clinton will likely announce her choice for vice president before the Democratic Party meets in Philadelphia for its presidential nominating convention July 25-28. She is also expected name her pick after the Republican National Convention ends July 21. 
Trump is also running out of time to announce a running mate. The Republican National Convention begins Monday in Cleveland, and he will need to make a selection before then. He will likely announce who he has chosen later this week.
