Joe Biden's presidential campaign announced the co-chairs of his vice presidential vetting committee Thursday. They are former Senator Chris Dodd, of Connecticut, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti; and Biden's former White House and Senate counsel, Cynthia Hogan.


Biden has stated that he would choose a woman to be his running mate, and these four co-chairs, along with former White House Counsel Bob Bauer, campaign General Counsel Dana Remus and former Homeland Security Adviser Lisa Monaco, who will be leading the vetting teams, will be carrying out the selection process. Bauer, Remus and Monaco will be providing Biden with background and information on the candidates, according to the campaign.

On Wednesday, Biden said he expected to have the vetting completed by July, and then, "I'll be narrowing down who it is that I would ask to be my vice presidential running mate." He's also apparently keeping in mind advice from the man who tapped Biden to be his vice president.

1. Yes, drag it out. Let Trump stew about who it will be...

Trump hates not being able to focus on his opponent. Let him worry about it.

2. Yup, do all the behind scenes work, lets see prospective vp's step up and show aptitude

Picking one now, allows a lot of time for attacks. Let Dumptruck stew on it. Don't give the GOP time to do their shit.

3. Yay. Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware!

I don’t know her well, but her father was on the Wilmington City Council for years. He’s a good guy. Lots of political experience.
