In this week's conversation with the Political Junkie, Ken Rudin "does the numbers" on Tuesday's primary election in Pennsylvania, talks about cabinet members who could wind up on Hillary Clinton's vice presidential shortlist, and offers a high school teacher advice on what to have her students read on their summer vacation.

Ken recommended:

• The White House Vice Presidency: The Path to Significance, Mondale to Biden, by Joel Goldstein

• What it Takes, by Richard Ben Cramer
