CLEVELAND (AP) — The Latest on Campaign 2016 between the Republican and Democratic nominating conventions (all times local):

7:53 a.m.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she's "probably not" Hillary Clinton's choice of running mate.

The Massachusetts Democrat says "I think if it were me, I would know it by now."

Warren made the comment Thursday night during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

Clinton's campaign considered picking the liberal favorite for the job. Democrats familiar with the search tell AP that Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine has emerged as a leading contender.

Clinton is expected to end the guessing game soon and could introduce her choice as soon as Friday.

Warren told Colbert that Clinton "has lots of good choices and I'm excited to see who she's going to pick."

3:15 a.m.

In the swirl of balloons and cheers of the masses, Donald Trump finally had his Rocky Balboa moment after a rocky convention.

Now Democrats are eager to step up for their own spectacle. Hillary Clinton is set to snatch attention from Republicans by naming her running mate in advance of the Democratic convention, with Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine the leading contender.

Trump's forceful promises to be the champion of disaffected Americans closed out his convention on a high note for the party. That was not a moment too soon after shows of disharmony and assorted flubs before the closer Thursday night.

The Democratic convention in Philadelphia, which starts Monday, is expected to be a more disciplined affair. Clinton is, if anything, disciplined.
