Andrew Gillum‘s not hung up on the “electability” of Bernie Sanders or other democratic candidates for Prez, because he thinks it’ll work itself out … but he’s NOT down with signing on as VP with any of them.

We got the former candidate for Florida governor Tuesday at LAX … and he says he trusts the process of our nation’s voting system in choosing the right person to go against Donald Trump.

As he puts it … voters aren’t casting their ballot for a candidate they think is going to lose the presidential race.

So, we ask Andrew how he’d feel about getting involved in the race himself — as the Dem’s candidate for Vice President — and he shoots it down … saying he’s trying to help everyone on his side.

Check it out, though … Gillum’s got a compelling reason for declining the honor of Veep … but he doesn’t QUITE say it’s completely out of the question.

In fact, as far as hypotheticals go … he admits it’s a doozy.

Never say never, right?
