Sources close to the selection process tell NBC News that Joe Biden “planned this weekend to drill down on vetting materials with the goal of narrowing the list down to a ‘three or four’ candidates. But several factors stand in the way of a public announcement, which aides say is unlikely to come this week.”
“One key element, a person involved in the process said, was polling data the campaign was waiting on on each of the potential candidates. Even as the campaign looks to avoid a choice that could prove to be a political liability, the most important ingredient to Biden is having personal chemistry with the choice. Biden then hopes to meet with each finalist — in person if possible, but at least virtually — by midweek.”
