CNN: “Biden sat down with at least one candidate late last week. It’s unclear how many face-to-face sessions Biden has done or if he met with anyone else over the weekend as he dealt with the Ukraine crisis, but the ‘interview phase is underway,’ the person familiar said, and things are on track for an announcement within the next week.”
Meanwhile, Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) told the Washington Post the confirmation process will be speedy: “The longer you wait, the more likely things get complicated with outside events. What if in the middle of this, God forbid, war breaks out in some part of the world? I mean, things can happen.”
