Former Vice President Joe Biden said he plans to announce the members of a selection committee who will help choose his running mate by May 1 as speculation continues to mount over his vice presidential pick.
“We’re going to probably be announcing the setting up of that committee, which we’re doing now, between the people who have agreed to serve on it, and we will be announcing the formation of that I assume by May 1 we’ll have that done,” he said on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” early Wednesday morning.
Biden added that the committee will likely take until July to narrow the hunt for a vice president down to the top three contenders.
Announcing his selection committee would officially launch Biden’s search for a running mate, though speculation has already exploded as to who he could pick after he vowed to select a woman for the role.
Much focus has been paid as to whether Biden, a centrist, would tap a progressive to try to unite the two factions of the Democratic Party or whether he would prioritize a running mate who hails from the Midwest, a region where Democrats are looking to regain ground after President Trump’s surprise victories in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in 2016.
The former vice president is also under pressure from some of his supporters to pick a black woman to recognize the important African American voters have played in buoying his White House bid.

The World Yawns. Joe Who?
Its going to be the crazy woman from MI.
All the others are TOO crazy and TOO ugly on camera
He needs a committee? /rhetorical question
I thought he was close to making a decision?
Now he needs a comedy? /s
I’m not betting on her but I’m throwing her hat into the ring.
THE OBAMAPHONE WOMAN!
Why is he going on one of those idiotic so-called comedy shows to make an announcement? Why is he not on CNN or a program like Meet the Press to make announcements such as this?
Wookie!
It seems that this corona virus has taken the place of the election. In many ways
VP selection? A panel?
It makes us nervous to have such a joke foisted on us.
Apparently Corden is battling Colbert to be the DNC’s go-to buttboy on late night tv...
Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Katy Perry and Ru Paul.
I wonder if the DNC has set a date for telling Joe he is not going to be the nominee, after all.
I predict a clusterf*ck.
He has not yet been selected, er... nominated by the Dems
Jumping the gun are we?
Miss America contest.
Joe Biden is Horton from Whoville listening to a voice in a drainpipe.
Please let it be a ‘trans’ candidate!!
(Like Michelle O)
Eh. Elizabeth Warren
