Biden preparing to announce running mate by mid-week: NYT [View all]

Source: Reuters

AUGUST 10, 2020 / 10:47 PM

(Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has interviewed the finalists in his running mate search and his campaign plans to announce a decision as soon as mid-week, the New York Times reported on Monday, citing people briefed on the process.

Biden and his potential vice president will formally accept the party’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention, scheduled for Aug. 17-20, and he has been expected to announce his pick before it begins.

The New York Times said the four-person committee that screened the candidates had “effectively disbanded” after completing its work, and that the decision now rested solely with Biden.

His campaign is expected to announce his decision as soon as Tuesday, but more likely Wednesday, the newspaper said, citing unnamed Democrats. It noted Biden has missed previous deadlines to announce his pick, and that the timeline could “slip again”.

The Biden campaign told Reuters it had no comment on the report.
