Former national security advisor Susan Rice has reportedly sold her shares in the streaming service Netflix amid rumors that she is on the shortlist of candidates to be presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden's running mate.
Deadline reported Friday that Rice sold her shares valued at $305,323, according to an SEC filing dated Thursday.

Other reported candidates to join Biden on the Democratic ticket include Reps. Karen Bass, D-Calif., and Val Demmings, D-Fla.; Sens. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill. and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.; and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
