WILMINGTON, Del. — Joseph R. Biden Jr. 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, people briefed on the selection process said on Monday.
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, Biden allies said, and there is little left to do except for Mr. Biden to make up his mind.
Mr. Biden’s political team has prepared rollout plans for several of the finalists, and he is expected to announce his decision as soon as Tuesday, though more Democrats expect it to come on Wednesday. The former vice president, however, has not been known for his punctuality so far in the presidential race and the timeline could well slip again.
Mr. Biden has spoken with the vice-presidential candidates through a combination of in-person sessions and remote meetings over the last few weeks, but the exact timing and circumstances of all of the meetings are not clear. Close advisers to Mr. Biden said he had been directly in touch with all of the leading candidates.
Some of the strongest contenders have been
Senator Kamala Harris of California;
Susan Rice, the former national security adviser;
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts; and
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, who met with Mr. Biden on Aug. 2.
Mr. Biden and his team have also closely considered
Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois,
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico and
Representatives Karen Bass of California and
Val Demings of Florida.

I predict he won’t choose a running mate at all. Why bother? All his other ways of hiding from scrutiny seem to be paying off.
Never heard of her.
Lol. I could care less. I do hope he picks the worst out of the rotten bunch though.
I think they meant ‘Immodium’................
Joe is just waiting for his handlers to tell him who he picked.
Corn Pop...or his official designee.
I got news for the NYT. “All” eyes are not fixated on Biden and whoever his VP will be. I, for one, don’t give a damn.
My guess is whitmer, the fascist governor of the once-great state of Michigan.
I have a hot dog riding on Kamala.
PUN INTENDED!
Bea Imminent ... funny
They picked the VP a week ago. The issue is that they can’t get Joe to remember and say the right name when he goes on stage to announce it.
I know Big Mike is lazy, but I think Joe was made an offer he can’t refuse.
V.P. Pick Is Said to Be Imminent
Never heard of her.
= = =
Auto type error.
Should have been Immigrant.
Could someone explain the definition of “imminent” to Creepy Joe?
Never mind. He’s not in charge of the VP selection anyway.
They are waiting to see who gets indicted first..............
He will pick Mayor Pete then duck and cover. Letting Pete redirect the Democrats and focus on the Bernie Warren message.
“My guess is whitmer...”
Uh, no...she’s a cracka.
Imminent. All the MSM are waiting breathlessly, hoping to see white smoke coming from the Biden chimney.
Biden make up his mind - Clueless Joe has to find it first
