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. Bidens 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. Bidens 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 need eye wash! Stop posting that ! lol
Yawn. Everyone knows he’s going to pick a loon. Which one is not important.
Amen. The MSM ran this 'drama queen' stuff back in 2007 and again in 2015 with Hillary: "Will she run?", "Will she run?", "Will she run?" ... like it was a cosmetics commercial ... sheesh !!!
Free Beer Tomorrow!
I guess the DNC hasn’t selected his VP yet. Biden will know who his VP is when we all know.....
No that is not correct. VP and Prez can be from the same state. Only prohibition is that the electors from THAT STATE cannot vote if both are from the state. Since Biden is from Delaware, and only has 3 electoral votes at stake, it probably won’t matter if he doesn’t get those votes. That is technically how it works. There is NO prohibition that says VP and Prez CANNOT be from the same state. Just a prohibition on ELECTORAL VOTERS voting for 2 candidates from same state.
Dont shoot the messenger. Its going to be a Biden-Weirdo ticket in 2020 I tell ya.
This post finally got my attention.
Oh, it would be a shame to see Biden lose the election
by three electoral votes because of his choice of VP.
I would has sads.../s

I wonder who I'll pick........A cheeseburger! Yeah, that'll be great for lunch...........
“I do hope he picks the worst out of the rotten bunch though.”
