Biden’s Running Mate Pick Is Imminent

August 10, 2020 at 7:44 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Joe Biden has told allies that he has interviewed every finalist in his vice-presidential search, and his advisers are planning an announcement for the middle of the week, the New York Times reports.

“In a sign that the choice is now in Mr. Biden’s hands alone, the four-member committee that screened his potential running mates is said to have effectively disbanded — its work is complete, and there is little left to do except for Mr. Biden to make up his mind.”
