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.
